Yes, you can recycle batteries and electronic items in the Scottish Borders, but there are specific ways to do so safely.

Here's a quick overview of how to recycle batteries and electronic items:
| Item Type | Disposal Method |
|---|---|
| Batteries (car and domestic) | Take to Community Recycling Centres or designated battery recycling points. |
| Small electrical items | Accepted at Community Recycling Centres. |
| Large electrical items | Accepted with specific permits for large items at Community Recycling Centres. |
