Battery Recycling & Disposal in Randfontein
Battery recycling in Randfontein 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.

Randfontein notes on batteries
Many homes in Mohlakeng and Toekomsrus start with a 12 V 100 Ah lithium battery and a small pure sine inverter, then add capacity later. Car batteries are not a good substitute; ask for a deep cycle or lithium battery. Scrap dealers along Main Reef Road buy old lead acid. Lock batteries away, because theft from yards and outbuildings is common here.
Power in Randfontein
Randfontein falls under Rand West City Local Municipality, with Eskom supplying some townships and farms directly. The town grew up around gold mines, and parts of its network are old, so cable theft, transformer faults and slow repairs are common complaints, along with summer storms over the western Highveld. Mohlakeng and Toekomsrus residents tend to ask for smaller, affordable setups, such as an inverter trolley or a 12 V lithium battery with a small inverter for lights and TV. Families in Greenhills and Randgate go for fixed hybrid systems. Poultry and pig farms to the west need cooling and ventilation backup, which calls for larger systems and often a generator too.
Typical battery recycling requests in the area come from:
- 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
- Shops, restaurants and salons: taking away old till UPS batteries and a trolley battery from the shop
