Recycling

In today's world, environmental responsibility has become everybody's job. In the case of lead-acid batteries, environmental stewardship must be shared, not only by the companies that manufacture batteries, but by those who use the batteries as well.

The lead and acid in batteries, if improperly handled, can contaminate both water and soil, causing environmental damage and personal injury. For this reason, spent batteries are classified as a hazardous waste and regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency.

Most State and Federal regulations forbid disposal of batteries by incineration or release to landfills, as well as discouraging any long-term storage. Recycling has become the most viable option approved by the EPA for lead-acid batteries.
