Why recycle batteries?
There are many different types of batteries. When batteries are no longer usable they must be disposed of properly to prevent groundwater contamination from heavy metals such as Nickel Cadmium, Nickel Metal Hydride, Lead Acid, Mercury and Lithium. In addition to these hazardous materials many batteries are either corrosive or reactive. These batteries are regulated as Hazardous Waste under the US EPA Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA).
In 1995 the US EPA promulgated the “Universal Waste Rule”. These regulations were developed to streamline the hazardous waste management standards for collecting and recycling these batteries. Improper disposal of batteries can lead to a potential financial environmental liability for your business. ALR recycles all types of batteries such as alkaline, lead acid, nickel cadmium, lithium, and more.
