Why Battery Recycling Matters
Batteries contain metals and chemicals that require proper handling. When they’re disposed of incorrectly, they can create environmental damage and real safety risks. On top of that, different battery types fall under different regulations, which means there’s no one-size-fits-all approach.
Working with a battery recycling company ensures everything is handled safely and in compliance.
What Types of Batteries We Recycle
Common Battery Types
We handle a wide range of everyday and specialty batteries, including lithium-ion, lithium polymer, lead-acid, NiMH, NiCad, alkaline, carbon zinc, silver oxide, and lithium thionyl chloride batteries.
Commercial & Industrial Batteries
For larger-scale operations, we also manage UPS batteries, APC battery systems, telecom batteries, data center battery backups, and water meter batteries.
If you’re dealing with more complex scenarios, you can learn more about DDR battery recycling, see our APC battery recycling guide, or read our silver oxide battery recycling guide for specific use cases.
Battery Recycling Options
Option 1: Scheduled Pickup
Scheduled pickup is the most common solution for businesses, facilities, and bulk quantities. It provides controlled removal, safer logistics, and clean documentation for tracking and compliance.
Option 2: Drop-Off Locations
Drop-off works best for smaller quantities. EACR Inc. supports a network of e-waste containers placed at partner locations, along with accessible drop-off options for the community.
Option 3: E-Waste Container Programs
Container programs are designed for ongoing collection. They’re ideal for facilities that generate battery waste regularly and need a consistent, organized solution across one or multiple locations.
Option 4: Electronics Recycling Events
EACR Inc. also works with townships and local organizations to host electronics recycling events, making it easy for businesses and residents to dispose of batteries responsibly.
Schedule a pickup or contact us to find the closest drop-off option.
How Battery Recycling Works
The process is straightforward and structured.
Batteries are collected, sorted by type, and routed to the appropriate processing streams. From there, reusable materials are recovered, and the remaining components are handled through proper downstream methods. Documentation is provided to support compliance and tracking.
Safety & Compliance
Why Proper Handling Matters
Batteries—especially lithium-based—can present real risks if mishandled. Fire hazards, chemical exposure, and short-circuiting are all concerns when disposal isn’t done properly.
Regulations
Battery recycling is governed by a mix of DOT / HMR requirements, EPA guidelines, and commercial documentation standards. These rules exist to ensure safe transport, handling, and processing.
We handle compliance so you don’t have to.
