An e-scooter depot needs a separate return process for battery packs, electrical assemblies, frames and tyres. Record the condition of each damaged scooter before arranging recovery.

Information to gather

  • Ask the pack supplier or specialist about damaged battery handling and transport.
  • Separate serviceable parts for assessed reuse from parts designated for disposal.
  • Confirm receiver acceptance for tyres, frames and electrical assemblies independently.

What to check before deciding

A depot collection contract should identify excluded or damaged items explicitly. Do not use a general e-waste booking for an unsafe battery pack or assume every battery falls into the same Victorian waste category.

Victorian landfills cannot receive e-waste; batteries need an appropriate dedicated collection route. See EPA Victoria - Electronic waste.

Send your site details and collection requirements to discuss the available options and written terms.
