The faciltiy was installed in the foyer of the district council offices in High Street.
Council chairman Tony Boyce said: “This is an excellent scheme which will divert even more batteries from landfill.
“Our residents will be able to recycle their batteries when they come in to collect their recycling bags or even when paying their Council Tax.”
Batteries can be recycled between 9am and 5.15pm, Monday to Thursday, and 9am to 5pm on Friday.
