Battery Recycling & Disposal in Centurion
Battery recycling in Centurion 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.

Centurion notes on batteries
Complexes off Jean Avenue and John Vorster Drive replace boom and gate motor batteries more often than they expect, because one gate can open hundreds of times a day. Ask for a lithium option or a bigger sealed battery on busy gates. Battery shops in Hennopspark and Lyttelton stock 12 V blocks, and some arrange collection of old lead acid from estates in Olievenhoutbosch and Monavoni.
Centurion: the supply, the weather and the buildings
Centurion falls under the City of Tshwane, and its estates and townhouse complexes have grown faster than parts of the local network. Residents in Eldoraigne, Rooihuiskraal and Irene usually trace their outages to a faulty mini-substation, stolen cable along the main roads or a lightning strike during a summer storm. Body corporates are a big part of the work here: complexes want the gate, booms, guard hut, CCTV and sometimes a borehole pump backed up, then owners add their own inverter. Business parks along the N1 and in Highveld Techno Park ask for UPS systems on networks and servers. Check the estate rules before work starts, because many control where inverters and batteries may go.
The requests we see from Centurion usually come from:
- Complexes, estates and body corporates: collecting old gate, boom and alarm batteries after an estate replacement
- Homeowners: dropping off an old inverter bank, gate battery or car battery for scrap
- Offices and home offices: removing worn UPS blocks from every desk and the server room
