Eucobat

The Eucobat association has launched a mobile application with information on the points where you can recycle used batteries in Europe. The initiative coincides with the celebration of the European Battery Recycling Day, which is celebrated on September 9.

In total, the Eucobat mobile app offers information on more than 340,000 recycling points throughout Europe. Of this total, some 32,000 belong to Spanish territory.

This Eucobat tool is available for both iOS and Android.

Specific battery recycling points around you

Once the Eucobat app is installed on your mobile, it's easy to find battery recycling points around you. You can enter your city or zip code, or authorize the app to access your location.

With any of these systems, the map will show in blue the recycling points, around you or in the area you have indicated .

By clicking on one of these points you will find the name of the establishment where it is located and the address. And if you click on that box, the app will allow you to open the navigation mode in Google Maps to take you there.

In total, the app collects more than 340,000 recycling points in Spain, France, Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Italy and Turkey. In Spain there are around 32,000 identified, corresponding to the Ecopilas foundation.

What options are in the Eucobat app menu

In the upper left corner you will find the button to display the app menu. In addition to the map with the collection points, from the menu you can see information about the local organizations that are in charge of this recycling, access the Eucobat website or consult the list of frequently asked questions about the recycling of batteries.

The app is available in twelve languages and more will be added soon. In addition, in the long term, data from collection points in other countries will also be introduced.
