Help Recycling your old battery Cat. No. Recycal | |
Are you exposing your company to an environmental liability?
Process: Do you have a process in place to manage recycling your spent lead-acid batteries?
Documentation: Is your recycling process and audit trail fully documented?
Recycler: Does your company use a 3rd-party recycling firm? Are they licensed?
Awareness: Is your company aware of the potential liability due to improperly recycling batteries?
Your company could be at risk if you are unsure or answer NO to any of these questions.
Why You Should Be Concerned
Federal, provincial, state, and local environmental laws regulating the
storage, transportation, and recycling of spent lead-acid batteries are
constantly becoming more stringent. As regulations become tougher your
risk of noncompliance increases. Penalties for non-compliance could
include large fines and criminal prosecution. In addition, customers
are becoming more sensitive to companies regarding their responsibility
to environmental compliance. Your business could be affected as
customers question your stewardship to the environment as well as
safety to others. Most importantly, without a compliant recycling
partner, your company could potentially be damaging the environment and
affecting the safety of others.
