Join Duracell’s Big Battery Hunt today

The BIG BATTERY HUNT is a nationwide recycling challenge that inspires pupils to power change across their schools and wider communities. The BIG BATTERY HUNT has completed its 5th successful year and with your help, we have so far managed to recycle over 18.4 million batteries!

We hope to be back for year 6, but in the meantime, check out our resources to inspire you Battery Recycling Pioneers to recycle their used batteries on our resource page. Don’t forget to submit their success stories to see them featured on our stories page too!

“Showing children that small environmental actions, when taken collectively, can make a big difference is illustrated brilliantly by Duracell’s Big Battery Hunt.”

Allison Ogden-Newton OBE, Chief Executive of environmental charity Keep Britain Tidy
