Bundle Waste
At an EV charging site, distinguish customer litter from maintenance waste and equipment replacement. A charging station does not automatically generate discarded vehicle traction batteries; assess the equipment actually maintained on site.
Information to gather
- List charger units, cables, displays and any site-owned battery storage separately.
- Ask maintenance contractors who removes replaced components and where they go.
- Provide litter and recycling arrangements based on the site's actual public use.
What to check before deciding
If the site has stationary battery storage or also repairs vehicles, obtain a separate specialist plan for those batteries. Do not use generic vehicle-battery weights to size a chargepoint's ordinary waste service.
Victorian landfills cannot receive e-waste; batteries need an appropriate dedicated collection route. See EPA Victoria - Electronic waste.
