Waste Management Program - Battery Recyclers
Reduce - Reuse - Recycle
There is no special funding source for battery cleanups. Citizens are encouraged to trade in their old battery when they buy a new one. A system is in place for battery retailers to properly recycle old batteries. Citizens are also encouraged to take their old batteries to a recycling center, some recyclers pay for old batteries.
Hazards -
- Ground water contamination - The removal of old vehicle batteries eliminates the potential for lead and acid leaching to ground water which could cause contamination problems.
- Child safety - Leaking or damaged batteries pose hazards, such as acid burns or lead exposure to children.
- Corrosion and property damage - Leaking batteries can cause corrosion and property damage due to the reaction of acid with items nearby.
- Explosion danger - Hydrogen gas is given off by batteries. If several batteries are enclosed in a small, poorly ventilated building, an explosive environment could exist.
