Environmental Policies.

All battery producers in the UK must be registered with the Environment Agency as part of an EU-wide initiative to increase battery collection and recycling, and reduce the risk of releasing hazardous substances into the environment.  BMW UK Ltd is registered as a Producer of Batteries under Registration Number BPRN00557.

Under the 2009 Waste Batteries and Accumulators regulation, BMW and BMW Motorrad vehicle owners can dispose of their waste automotive, portable and Industrial batteries (from electric/hybrid vehicles) free of charge. 

To replace the battery of your vehicle, it can be returned to your BMW Motorrad Retail Centre where a new battery is installed. The old battery will be recycled in accordance with the regulations.  To arrange the disposal of your vehicle battery, contact your nearest BMW, MINI or Motorrad Retail Centre; to find your nearest Centre, click here.

Alternatively, it can be delivered to one of the following facilities for recycling, in accordance with their policy:

• Civic Amenity and Recycling Centres
• Local Authority Battery Collection Schemes
• Licensed End of Life Vehicle Authorised Treatment Facilities
