Abstract

Batteries are classified as hazardous waste according to European Union and Turkish laws and regulations. Battery waste contains electrolyte solutions as basic or acidic forms that could get involved with underground water or soil. Metallic ingredients on the other hand, are valuable source for metal recovery. This paper evaluates status quo in battery collection schemes in Turkey and Küçükçekmece Municipality as a case study. Population over 80 million people with use of over 10.000 kilograms of battery every year makes Turkey an interesting example in developing countries in case of battery collection. Küçükçekmece Municipality waste battery collection scheme is explained and collected amounts are given in this paper. Küçükçekmece has a population of 750,000 people approximately with being one of the most crowded cities in Turkey. High population density and being a recently urbanized region makes Küçükçekmece an interesting example of Turkish battery collection scheme.
