6 FAQs about [Lead-acid battery disposal site selection requirements]

Do you need a license to transport a lead-acid battery?

All waste lead-acid batteries are “dangerous goods” and are subject to the federal Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations (TDGR), including requirements for shipping documentation, labelling and placarding of vehicles. Waste lead-acid batteries are also subject to the B.C. HWR. When is a license to transport not required?

Is a waste lead-acid battery a hazardous waste?

A waste lead-acid battery is not hazardous waste only after it has been refurbished by a producer and is suitable for reuse. Delisting under Section 53 of the HWR is not required to refurbish lead-acid batteries. What are the rules for Producers? You are expected to assess all incoming waste lead-acid batteries immediately after receipt.

Are conventional effluent purification processes used for the recovery of lead acid batteries?

The purpose of this article is to describe the conventional effluent purification processes used for the recovery of materials that make up lead acid batteries, and their comparison with the advanced processes already being implemented by some environmental managers.

How much is a waste lead-acid battery transported per shipment?

Waste lead-acid batteries are transported in quantities less than 1,000 kg per shipment; or, 3. The generator of waste lead-acid batteries transports the batteries themselves in quantities less than 2,000 kg per shipment. When are manifests not required? A B.C. hazardous waste manifest is required for most shipments of waste lead-acid batteries.

Can lead-acid batteries be recycled?

Although lead-acid batteries generally exhibit the hazardous waste characteristic of toxicity for lead (D008) and would be subject to significant restrictions when discarded, the EPA encourages their recycling by providing two alternative management standards.

How do lead-acid batteries reduce environmental impact?

It is evident that the segregation and independent treatment of the most polluting effluents from dismantling and washing lead-acid batteries means that much of the rest of the effluents can be discharged; this therefore simplifies their treatment and minimises the environmental impact.
