I would like to know where to take batteries and lamps to be recycled.

In Phuket City we provide special bins in government schools and hotels to separate toxic waste. Phuket City municipality collects the material and and sends it to Saraburi where it is safely disposed of. In areas that do not have the specially designated bins at this time, you should place any toxic waste in a plastic bag and take it to the nearest hotel or municipality office in your area. We will then collect it and transfer it to the Phuket City municipality. It is important that you do not destroy it yourself or dispose of it by burying it in the ground.
For more information on toxic waste management contact Phuket Provincial Public Health Office on Narisorn Rd (Tel: 076-211330, Email: admin@pkto.moph.go.th)
