IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE YOUR SPENT LEAD-ACID BATTERIES END UP, YOU COULD BE EXPOSING YOURSELF AND YOUR COMPANY TO ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITY, WHICH COULD RESULT IN LEGAL COMPLICATIONS, LARGE FINES AND EVEN CRIMINAL PROSECUTION.

 

THE PROBLEM:

Federal, provincial, state and local environmental laws regulating the storage,
transportation and recycling of spent lead-acid batteries in the United States and Canada are constantly
becoming more stringent. As the regulations become tougher, your risk of non-compliance increases.
In fact, under current Superfund laws in the United States, you may become liable for the clean-up of
problems caused by your recycler, even though you acted in good faith.

Here is a set of questions that will enable you to decide how secure you feel about your company's
disposal of spent lead-acid batteries.

 

	Do you have documentation to prove to environmental officials where your spent lead-acid batteries were recycled?
	Is the trucking company that transports your spent lead-acid batteries properly licensed for hazardous waste materiel hauling?
	Is the company that recycles your spent lead-acid batteries using properly licensed smelting operations?
	Is your recycling partner financially capable and committed to accepting its share of any potential liability?
	Is your current lead-acid battery supplier prepared to participate in a battery recycling program and have they raised this issue with you?

 

 

If the answer to any of these questions is NO, or if you have any doubts, you could be at risk
