We will arrange for all your lead acid batteries to be taken away and reprocessed by one of the leading recyclers in the UK. Lead acid batteries include: - Motor Vehicle batteries
- Industrial traction batteries
- Stand-by Power and Telecommunications batteries
Waste batteries are hazardous and must be handled, stored, transported and recovered according to current legislation. We can supply special Environment Agency approved battery-banks. Your waste batteries are then stored in the battery-bank and, if you notify us when full, we will arrange for it to be removed and replaced with an empty one if so required. This is the only way to store and handle most lead acid batteries and meet all duty of care regulations. All lead acid batteries collected in this way are fully recycled - the lead plates are sent to a smelter for recycling, the plastic cases are recovered, and the waste acid is dispatched for safe recycling or disposal. Containers correctly packed hold between 500kgs and 1 tonne. |
