Thousands of Taylor Swift fans have attended the singer’s seven sold-out Eras tour concerts across Australia over the past few weeks.
Each lucky Swiftie who managed to bag a ticket to the hotly-anticipated shows in Melbourne and Sydney were given an LED wristband upon their arrival.
The free wristbands have become tradition on Taylor’s global Eras tour and they light up in sync during her show to create immersive visual effects.
However, after the Australian leg of the tour came to an end on Monday, Swifties have been warned about properly disposing of the wristband’s batteries.
B-cycle, Australia’s official battery stewardship scheme, took to Instagram on Friday to issue advice to the 600,000 fans Down Under who attended Taylor’s epic shows.

They urged fans to remove the batteries from the wristband – even if they plan to keep the band itself as a keepsake – and take them to a B-cycle drop-off point, rather than tossing them in the bin.
They wrote: ‘T-Swift has left the building… but your battery hazard hasn’t!
‘If you were one of 600,000 attendees at Taylor Swift’s recent Australian shows, you likely still have your special edition battery operated wristband.
‘While these added great visual effects during the performances, it’s incredibly important that you know how to properly dispose of the two button batteries included in each wristband as these can be a health hazard if ingested or a fire hazard if disposed of in household waste or recycling.
‘Once you’ve removed the batteries from the wristband, please do the following: 1. Don’t toss them in general waste and recycling bins / 2. Tape them using clear sticky tape (for button batteries this is on all sides) / 3. Take them to your nearest B-cycle accredited Drop off point.’
