Battery Recycling Industrial Battery & Charger, Inc. partners with certified EPA facilities to coordinate the recycle of lead-acid batteries and industrial NiCd batteries.Industrial Battery & Charger, Inc. (IBCI) has been in the battery business since 1975. Long before the environment became a social issue, IBCI was actively involved with the collection and recycling of lead-acid batteries. We are pleased to be a part of an industry where over 98% of its products are recycled.In recent years, regulatory and social pressures have combined to necessitate the proper management of lead containing products. In the case of lead-acid batteries, it is widely recognized that protection of human health and the environment is a shared responsibility between industry and those who distribute, collect, process and use these products.IBCI maintains a leadership role in environmental stewardship by offering a program to accept used lead-acid batteries. The purpose is to provide a proper and safe means of recycling scrap lead-acid batteries through an approved secondary recycling facility. Upon request, documentation confirming proper transport and disposal will be provided. This program provides our customers with documentation that goes beyond regulatory requirements. Batteries received may be shipped directly to the EPA approved facility or to an IBCI facility prior to transport to a recycling facility. Temporary storage practices at Industrial Battery & Charger, Inc. include proper handling, consolidation and packaging thus preventing potential exposure to individuals and/or release of contaminants to the environment. All Industrial Battery & Charger, Inc. facilities are exempt from registration under RCRA. This exemption is noted in Title 40 CFR Part 266.80, Subpart G.There is currently no regulatory standard for documentation of scrap lead-acid battery shipments to secondary recycling facilities beyond DOT bill of lading requirements. Therefore, under the standard practices of the Battery Recycling Program, IBCI retains only general records of scrap lead-acid batteries collected and shipped to secondary recycling facilities. A documented program is available on request.Our Stationary Power Division is set up to support your industrial size Nickel-Cadmium (NiCd) battery disposal/recycling needs.
