Battery barrel for sites that collect more than 700 kg a year

If your site collects more than 700 kilograms of batteries and accumulators a year, you can order plastic barrels designed for transporting hazardous materials instead of boxes.

Five barrels at a time

UN-approved 110-litre barrels that feature the labelling required by legislation regarding the transport of hazardous materials are delivered and picked up one pallet at a time, i.e. five barrels. An exception to this are damaged lithium batteries weighing more than 500 grams, which can also be picked up in one-barrel batches.

Order empty barrels:

The use of barrels must always be agreed upon in writing with Recser Oy, which runs Battery Recycling. For more information, please contact info(a)recser.fi or +358 (0)10 249 1717.

Order a pick-up for full barrels:

You can order a pick-up conveniently with an electronic form:

1. Fill out the form with your contact information, the pick-up address and the collection site specific ID number. (If you do not know the ID number of your collection site, please contact info(a)recser.fi or +358 (0)10 249 1717.)
2. Choose a pick-up date from the dropdown menu.
3. Under the “Tavararivi” (‘Goods’) header, enter the type and number of packages. A FIN pallet holds 5 barrels and an EUR pallet holds 4. You can send damaged accumulators weighing more than 500 grams on a semi-pallet in batches of one.
4. Next, accept the terms of use of the service and confirm the order.
5. After confirmation, create and print the transport documents.

Instructions for placing an order by telephone:

You can also order a pick-up for battery barrels by telephone on weekdays from 8.00 am to 4.00 pm at +358 (0)10 520 3455.

Note! The customer number 60003279 and the collection site specific ID number must always be given when placing an order. If you do not know the ID number of your collection site, please contact info(a)recser.fi or +358 (0)10 249 1717.

When a telephone order is placed, the order centre sends the transport documents electronically for the orderer to print. If you are unable to print the necessary documents, please mention this when placing your order.

Instructions for packing batteries for transport:

DB Schenker only accepts transport equipment provided by Recser Oy or other UN-approved transport containers for transport.

The printable documents for the pick-up consist of a waybill printed on three pages and package-specific address tags. Two of the printed and signed waybills are given to the transporter and one is kept at the pick-up site. In accordance with the requirements set for transfer documents in the Waste Act, the pick-up site must keep the waybill for 3 years.

One printed address tag is attached to each battery pallet. The barrels must be placed ready for pick-up in the usual cargo loading area of the collection site.

Other considerations:

You can also contact +358 (0)10 520 3455 or cc.turku(a)dbschenker.com to order empty barrels that are not delivered automatically in connection with a pick-up of full barrels.

Print the pick-up order instructions here and place them for your personnel to see.

Full barrels are picked up within 7 days from the order. Recser Oy battery barrels must only be handed to a representative of DB Schenker!
