Battery Recycling News

FACT:

Did you know that standard "consumer" batteries, generated by small quantity or facilities with generator status are considered hazardous waste and must be managed properly?
 

Most "household" and some industrial batteries fail the toxicity test (TCLP) for mercury, silver, lead, and chromium based on type and manufacturer. Zinc, and/or copper are regulated in some states. Batteries, when disposed, must meet the specified treatment standards under the land disposal restrictions and some batteries (i.e., nickel- cadmium, lead acid, and mercury) have specified technologies under federal and state regulatory requirements.

Reclamation of useable materials from batteries is an economical and environmentally sound decision. Recycling can reduce the risk of future financial liability associated with land disposal. Additionally, battery recycling gives a generator credit for waste minimization at an effective price.
 

WE RECYCLE ANY BATTERY TYPE INCLUDING:
Alkaline Carbonaire Magnesium Mercury
Lithium Silver Oxide Lead Acid Nickel Iron
NiCad Nickel Hydride Button Cell Zinc and MORE!!


The following battery storage suggestions are offered:

1) Batteries require cool, well ventilated, dry storage areas.

2) Temperature should not exceed 130 degrees fahrenheit.

3) Protect batteries against being damaged, crushed, punctured or short-circuited.

4) Do not smoke or eat in battery storage areas.

5) Store batteries separately from other hazardous material.

6) Tape terminal-ends securely with non-conductive tape to prevent short-circuiting.
