Yes, hearing aid batteries can be recycled and should never be thrown into household waste. Hearing aid batteries are almost always zinc-air batteries. While they are smaller and typically safer than some other types of batteries, they still contain valuable materials and need specialised handling. Recycling them safely conserves natural resources and prevents heavy metals from leaking into landfills.
Recycling batteries requires one important safety step before disposal: always cover the battery terminals with clear tape (like sticky tape) before dropping them off.
Preparation Checklist:

Always check the retailer's or council's website to confirm they accept zinc-air (hearing aid) batteries, but most dedicated battery bins will.
