Batteriesare classified as hazardous waste according to European Union and Turkish lawsand regulations. Battery waste contains electrolyte solutions as basic or acidicforms that could get involved with underground water or soil. Metallicingredients on the other hand, are valuable source for metal recovery. Thispaper evaluates status quo in battery collection schemes in Turkey andKüçükçekmece Municipality as a case study. Population over 80 million peoplewith use of over 10.000 kilograms of battery every year makes Turkey aninteresting example in developing countries in case of battery collection.Küçükçekmece Municipality waste battery collection scheme is explained andcollected amounts are given in this paper. Küçükçekmece has a population of750,000 people approximately with being one of the most crowded cities inTurkey. High population density and being a recently urbanized region makesKüçükçekmece an interesting example of Turkish battery collection scheme.
