Battery Recycling & Disposal Services

Currently serving more than 10 states in the Midwest!

Advances in battery manufacturing have resulted in the reduction or elimination of hazardous components in batteries. However, many batteries entering the waste stream still contain hazardous elements as they were manufactured prior to such advances. Researchers are discovering it takes longer than first thought for hazardous batteries to be discarded into the waste stream. In many cases, batteries become intermixed through the process of collection and consolidation; therefore, it is important to dispose of all battery types properly.

Through the battery recycling process, toxic elements are removed and reusable components (lead, zinc, silver, mercury, cadmium, etc.) are separated for subsequent reuse.
