Battery Recycling & Disposal in Brits
Battery recycling in Brits goes through scrap metal dealers, battery shops and e-waste recyclers in North West. 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.
The main battery recycling page explains the equipment, the safety points and the costs in more detail.
Brits notes on batteries
Weekend homes around Hartbeespoort are often empty, so a 48V lithium battery with good monitoring and a locked room makes sense. Gate motor batteries in estates off the R512 wear with heavy traffic. Farmers near Damonsville keep deep cycle banks for electric fences. Workshops in Oukasie and Letlhabile buy 12V lithium for trolleys. Old lead acid can go to scrap dealers in the industrial area.
Power in Brits
Brits mixes a manufacturing and automotive parts industry with irrigated farming along the Crocodile River and weekend homes around Hartbeespoort Dam. The Madibeng Local Municipality supplies much of the town, Eskom supplies many farms, villages and dam areas directly, and some parts of the local network are old and prone to faults. Cable theft and summer storms add to the interruptions. Factories in the Brits industrial area want backup for offices and critical lines, farms ask about pumps for irrigation and boreholes, and homeowners around the dam want wifi, lights and the gate to keep going. Fit surge protection and check that any grid-tie inverter is registered with the supplier.
The requests we see from Brits usually come from:
- Factories, warehouses, schools and churches: scheduled collection of forklift, UPS and plant batteries on pallets
- 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
Local tips for Brits
Common here: factory office backup, irrigation and borehole power, and dam-side homes. Ask each installer or supplier about this: ask whether your supply is municipal or Eskom before you register an inverter. Where they work from: installers in the Brits industrial area, the town centre and Hartbeespoort.
Around Brits the largest group asking is factories, warehouses, schools and churches, which usually means scheduled collection of forklift, UPS and plant batteries on pallets. Before you agree to anything: never in the bin; tape lithium terminals. The supply here: madibeng municipal supply and Eskom direct in parts; ageing lines, theft, storms.
