Provided is a method for recovering metals, which can produce a lithium hydroxide solution from a metal-containing solution and appropriately process the impurities separated at that time. The method for recovering metals from battery powder of lithium ion battery waste includes: an acid leaching step of leaching the metals in the battery powder into an acidic leaching solution to obtain a metal-containing solution containing lithium ions and other metal ions; a metal separation step of separating the other metal ions from the metal-containing solution; and, after the metal separation step, an electrodialysis step of subjecting the metal-containing solution containing lithium ions and fluoride ions as impurities to electrodialysis using a bipolar membrane to obtain a lithium hydroxide solution and an acidic solution comprising fluoride ions, wherein the acidic solution obtained in the electrodialysis step is mixed with the acidic leaching solution so that the acidic leaching solution contains calcium in the acidic leaching step, and the fluoride ions are precipitated by the calcium.
