Please Read Carefully

• Please do not dispose of your e-Cycle, e-Scooter or e-Hoverboard in the Scrap Metal skip/container.

• In the first instance you should contact either the manufacturer or retailer of your e-Cycle/Scooter/Hoverboard.  Manufacturers & retailers should offer a free take-back scheme. More information can be found on GOV.UK for e-Cycles and e-Scooters
• If your e-Cycle/Scooter/Hoverboard cannot be returned via a take-back scheme, they can be recycled at Riverside or Baldovie recycling centres.  However, we can only accept them providing you carry out the following procedure:

1. Prior to visiting the recycling centre, remove the lithium battery from your e-Cycle/Scooter/Hoverboard.  Due to health & safety concerns, you are not permitted to remove these at the recycling centre.
2. Bring both your e-Cycle/Scooter/Hoverboard and the disconnected lithium battery to the recycling centre.
3. Important - Dispose of the e-Cycle/Scooter/Hoverboard (minus the lithium battery) in the Small Domestic Appliance container/area.
