Why Is Car Battery Recycling Important?

Car battery recycling is important for your safety and the health of the environment, as batteries contain many heavy metals (like nickel, mercury, lead, sulfuric acid, and cadmium) that can pollute the environment and even hurt you. Due to their high toxicity, dead car batteries must be handled and transported with extreme care. We recommend wearing gloves and safety glasses at all times when picking up or moving a dead, lead-acid battery. All dead batteries must be transported in their upright position in secure, waterproof containers, especially if the battery is leaking or shows any visible signs of past leakage.

See more information about why it’s important to recycle car batteries on our blog.
