Our complete Battery Recycling Program makes it easy for you to help preserve our environment,
and to protect yourself from the penalties of non-compliance. As the world's largest battery
company, we assume the responsibilities of leadership regarding battery recycling. We do so as part of our commitment to total battery service and customer protection.
Can you afford liability?
As a battery purchaser and user, you are ultimately responsible for any environmental
damage that may occur from the improper disposal of your batteries. The EPA says thermal
recovery (recycling) is the only environmentally responsible disposition method.
Liability for environmental cleanup is retroactive, strict, joint and severe. The EPA can
sue anyone and everyone they can trace to a Superfund site. When big polluters are sued, they
in turn reach back to sue everyone they can find who contributed to the problem. You may be
responsible for huge cleanup expenses, no matter who land filled or improperly treated your
batteries - even years down the road. How much cleanup expenses could you afford?
How the EnerSys Recycling Program works.
EnerSys, not a middleman, picks up your spent lead-acid batteries regardless of size,
quantity or manufacturer. You may also deliver them to one of our depots. We reclaim the
lead in secondary smelters and reclaim plastic for new battery cases. We also neutralize
the acids on-site in compliance with regulatory permits. EnerSys exceeds the law's
requirements by giving you complete recycling documentation, including Recycling Certificates. You are in full compliance with all the fast changing EPA, DOT and/or other federal and state requirements.
Not all recycling programs are created equal.
Do not confuse our complete recycling/reclamation process with programs that claim to
"indemnify" your company against cleanup liability! Such programs may not provide the
recycling and documentation that protect you. Only a nationwide program such as ours can
give you total peace of mind.
