Battery Recycling

The need for battery recycling has grown rapidly over the years as a result of more and more products ranging from laptops, cell phones and digital cameras coming to market with battery power.

Batteries are a unique product that are made up of toxic heavy metals such as nickel cadmium, alkaline, mercury, nickel metal hydride and lead acid. If discarded improperly, these elements threaten both our environment and overall health.

Batteries may produce the following potential problems or hazards:

• Pollute the lakes and streams as the metals vaporize into the air when burned
• Contribute to heavy metals that potentially may leach from solid waste landfills
• Expose the environment and water to lead and acid
• Contain strong corrosive acids
• May cause burns or danger to eyes and skin
