(3) Batteries, as described in Sec. 273.9, that are not hazardous waste. A battery is a hazardous waste if it exhibits one or more of the characteristics identified in 40 CFR part 261, subpart C. (c) Generation of waste batteries. (1) A used battery becomes a waste on the date it is discarded (e.g., when sent for reclamation).
This guidance applies to waste automotive, industrial and portable lead acid batteries. It does not apply to other types of waste battery. The plastic cases of waste lead acid batteries may contain persistent organic pollutants (POPs). You can identify if a waste lead acid battery may contain POPs by checking: Where the battery case is made of :
The waste code for lead acid car batteries is 16-06-01*. (*) An asterisk at the end of a code means the waste is hazardous. The waste code for catalytic converters is 16 01 21*, or 16 01 22 for those that do not contain refractory ceramic fibres (RCF). (*) An asterisk at the end of a code means the waste is hazardous.
Waste batteries that are classified as hazardous waste can be collected under the streamlined collection standards for universal waste. These universal waste standards were created in an attempt to make it easier to collect the waste batteries and send them for recycling (or proper treatment and disposal).
The specific obligations in relation to waste batteries depend on their type, but all require registration with the appropriate environmental regulator via the National Packaging Waste Database.
Where POPs will be destroyed, you may include recovery of lead or recycling of plastic that does not contain POPs. The combination of hazardous waste and POPs severely restricts both destination countries and allowed waste management options. You must notify the export of lead acid batteries from England to destinations outside the UK.
These batteries can contain corrosive chemicals that can cause burns as well as toxic metals such as lead, cadmium, nickel, silver, and mercury (in older batteries). Due to their hazardous characteristics, many batteries are …
