Battery Recycling
The challenge as we see it
Used batteries may be considered a hazardous waste because they can contain corrosive liquids, toxic heavy metals or reactive metals. Under the Federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), hazardous waste must be properly identified, stored, transported, treated and disposed of, and generators are financially responsible for cleaning up the effects of improper disposal.
