Asker: Thanks Nick, but in this case it won't do. That's another part of waste management. I think these are the collection points before recycling.

acceptance points

(another possibility)

Used car accumulators can be delivered to the car services, car spare part shops, the nearest scrap metal acceptance points or waste sorting plants. They are stored in special acid-resistant containers. As part of waste collection system, ECO collects the used accumulators from the acceptance points and forwards them for recycling.
