**484 tonnes were nickel/cadmium batteries (2%)

**6,381 tonnes were other types of batteries (21%)

* 18,~~466~~ tonnes were delivered for [[treatment]] and battery evidence were accepted for a similar tonnage

* 18,967 tonnes were delivered for [[treatment]] and battery evidence were accepted for a similar tonnage

* 45.88% UK collection rate achieved (in some previous years this target has not been met, for example in 2017 a 44.89% figure was achieved<ref> [https://www.letsrecycle.com/news/latest-news/concern-uk-struggle-battery-recycling-target/ Letsrecycle news item August 2018] </ref>.
