Disposing of car batteries in Galway City?

Where can you do it? I don't want to harm the environment, but not sure of a way to do so safely.

I've got 2 to get rid of. Anybody help?

Can't you bring them to the council place in Liosbaun??

I'm not 100% sure of this but I think you can. Their place is first left coming into Liosbaun from the Motorpark side I think....

Any garage that sells car batteries must take old batts back free. You don't have to to buy anything either, just return the old ones.

Cool, I think that's the same place being referred to. I'll pop past.

Both batteries were bought in motor factors in Galway, don't have receipts, will that make a difference?

Anywhere that sells similar batteries is obliged to take them. No purchase necessary.
