Why Forklift Battery Recycling Matters

Forklift batteries contain materials like lead, sulfuric acid, or lithium that can pose serious risks if not handled correctly. Improper disposal can contaminate soil and water, harm wildlife, and even cause fires.

Beyond the environmental impact, strict EPA and local regulations require that businesses recycle forklift batteries according to proper standards. Choosing a licensed recycler like EACR Inc. protects your company and ensures you’re doing your part to keep harmful materials out of landfills.

Types of Forklift Batteries We Recycle

Lead-Acid Forklift Batteries

Lead-acid batteries are the most common type used in forklifts today. They’re nearly 100% recyclable and can be safely reused in new products. We handle every step — collection, transport, and processing — so the lead, plastic, and acid are recovered responsibly.

Lithium-Ion Forklift Batteries

Many newer forklifts run on lithium-ion batteries. These lighter, more efficient batteries need careful handling during disposal to avoid risks. We follow strict safety standards to pick up, transport, and recycle lithium-ion forklift batteries the right way every time.

Other Industrial Batteries

Beyond standard forklift batteries, EACR Inc. can recycle other industrial batteries, pallet jack power packs, and similar equipment. We make it easy to manage extra batteries safely and legally. If you have questions, our team is always ready to help you out.
