BATTERY REMOVAL & RECYCLING
Proper removal and disposal of batteries from service is
important for personal and environmental safety. EPI's battery
removal process requires technicians to wear personal protection
including:
- Safety
glasses/goggles or face shields
- Safety / Acid-resistant gloves
- Rubber aprons
EPI provides all
of the rigging equipment, and spill containment materials
necessary for handling of heavier VRLA and flooded batteries,
Once removed from service, the batteries are carefully prepped
for shipment.
- Batteries are placed on approved pallets.
- Cardboard to protect the battery terminals to minimize the potential for
electrical discharge
(up to 50,000 amps possible).
- Pallets are "shrink-wrapped" and banded accordingly.
EPI arranges for disposal of batteries at EPA approved smelter facilities, where
in turn they are recycled for their reusable materials:
- Lead: used for
cell plate material and battery posts.
- Plastic: used
to make the jars.
Special
consideration is taken with NiCad batteries in particular due to
the content of Cadmium, and in some instances, Mercury. These
batteries are handled and disposed in accordance with very
strict guidelines.
