Re: "Less than 5 per cent of lithium-ion batteries are recycled today"
"I find it incredibly difficult to recycle because whiout exception the staff will find a problem with the stuff i want to recycle , or the vehicle im trying to do it in."
It's pretty obvious they're after a bribe, or 'tip' as they refer to it. At least it is at my local dump. Despite having a system for pre-booking (permitted) van trips, they always insist 'that kind of van isn't allowed', whatever you turn up in.
One time I had two different vans booked in on the same day, the first was a dropside and the second was a regular van. Took the first in, they told me it wasn't allowed, only closed-back vans. No problem, go and get the other van - and then they didn't recognise me from earlier and told me that wasn't allowed, only open-back vehicles.
