Battery Recycling & Disposal in Benoni
Battery recycling in Benoni goes through scrap metal dealers, battery shops and e-waste recyclers in Gauteng. Lead acid batteries are usually bought by weight, so phone ahead for the rate. For lithium, ask who accepts it and whether they collect, and for a business, whether they supply crates and proof of disposal.

Benoni notes on batteries
Battery shops along Tom Jones Street and in Northmead stock 48V lithium modules, 12 V deep cycle batteries and gate motor batteries. Smallholders near Putfontein who still run lead acid banks should keep them ventilated and off the floor. Daveyton and Etwatwa residents often buy 12 V lithium for trolleys. Old lead acid can go to scrap dealers in Apex.
Backing up in Benoni
Benoni is on the City of Ekurhuleni network, but it has more variety than most East Rand towns. Lakeside homes in Lakefield and Farrarmere sit near smallholdings in Benoni Small Farms and Putfontein, and the townships of Daveyton and Etwatwa lie to the east. Outages come from cable theft, aged overhead lines on the plots and summer storms, with local load reduction still reported in parts of the townships. Smallholders want borehole pumps, electric fences and chicken houses kept running. Families near the lakes want lights, wifi and the gate covered. Daveyton households lean toward trolleys and small lithium kits. Lightning over open ground is a concern on the plots.
Who asks for battery recycling around Benoni, most often first:
- Homeowners: dropping off an old inverter bank, gate battery or car battery for scrap
- Farms and smallholdings: selling old tractor, bakkie and fence batteries to a scrap dealer
