MORE than three-quarters of people said they would be more likely to recycle batteries if it was easier to do, according to a survey released by YouGov today.
Researchers found that 95% of those questioned said they recycled some household waste but only a third (34%) had recycled batteries.
But four out of five (80%) said they would do it if it was easier.
More than 600m batteries are used in the UK every year, with 40% of them bought at Christmas-time to power gifts including toys and digital cameras.
