| Most car, truck, motorcycle and boat batteries are "lead acid" batteries; which means they are considered to be a hazardous waste, due to the lead and acid content. Lead acid batteries can create disposal problems. Landfilling presents the risk of groundwater contamination, and incineration results in toxic air emissions. Given present disposal options, recycling is the only safe solution. By recycling batteries, you will insure your company is in compliance with current environmental regulations, managing your waste stream properly, limiting your exposure to liability... and setting a good example for everyone to keep our environment healthy. Universal Environmental Services is readily able to offer your company battery collection services including proper handling, labeling and transportation of spent batteries. |
