Improper Battery Storage & Disposal:
The following list consists of things not to do with batteries:
• Do not bury batteries.
• Do not burn batteries.
• Do not store them with metal, or different types of batteries.
Proper Battery Storage & Disposal:
Storage
Unused batteries contain the same chemicals as those of used batteries and
therefore pose the same threat of contamination and re. If a battery comes
into contact with another object, in particular metal or objects that contain
moisture, the possibility of that battery to leak acid or cause a re is increased. It
is important to store batteries (new and used) in a clean, dry enclosed area with
their terminals protected from contact with other objects.
Disposal
There are several options for properly disposing of used batteries:
• Return the batter to the place of purchase.
• Most stores that sell car batteries will also accept them for recycling. There
may be a fee for this service.
• A metal recycler may pay you for your car battery. Look in the yellow pages or
internet under “Recycling Centers” for a list of metal recyclers in your area.
