Used Battery Recycling

Nearly every home and office contains electronic devices and appliances that require batteries. You may not think about it routinely, but the simple reality is that Americans go through a lot of different kinds of batteries. Unfortunately, they don’t last forever. After a few months or a few years, depending on the usage, they die. What do you do with dead batteries? If you’re smart, you’ll find a used battery recycling service to help. Nearly 3 billion batteries are thrown away each year, and when they end up in landfills, they’re a serious hazard to the environment.

What is Used Battery Recycling?

Recent advances in technology allow most batteries to be recycled. Typically batteries are sorted by type when they enter the facility, then the batteries themselves are separated by parts and materials like copper, aluminum, nickel, and cobalt are pulled out for recycling. Often nearly 95% of the battery can be recycled and kept out of the landfill. Obviously, this isn’t a process you could undertake without a secure facility.
