After a battery is removed from service, it is most likely classified as a hazardous waste due to its corrosiveness, reactivity, or toxicity.  The Resource Conservation Act (RCRA) guidelines 40 CFR 261 - 268 regulate the disposal.  The Universal Waste Rule (UWR), however, allows for a user-friendly removal process.

Recycling Process:

After the batteries are transported to our facility, they are separated according to their category type.  The batteries are then separated into component parts (lead, cadmium, plastic, etc.) and reclaimed by a new battery manufacturer.

Shipping Method:

Batteries are to be shipped in a drum or on pallets.  Batteries can be separated when they arrive at Environmental Recycling.
