The Big Green Box is a nationwide program that offers companies, consumers, and other generators an easy, low cost way to recycle their batteries and electronics. The Big Green Box is shipped to your home or office completely constructed. Simply place your used batteries into the box, and when full, ship your batteries back to our EPA permitted recycling facility (at no additional charge).   All costs of recycling and shipping are included in the price of the Big Green Box. We also email you a Certificate of Acceptance & Recycling for your records, so you can document just how many batteries you've kept out of the landfill. It is critical to package all batteries and electronic devices properly to ensure safe storage and shipping. For that reason, every BGB comes with a set of instructions that explains how to safely package your batteries and electronics, as well as stay compliant with all U.S. DOT shipping regulations.We are as dedicated to safety as we are to quality service and innovative recycling technology. The US. Department of Transportation (DOT) has established a number of regulations that must be followed to legally ship batteries for recycling.
These regulations have been established for your safety as well as the safety our staff and those responsible for transporting the batteries. For that reason, we have provided an overview of the DOT's shipping regulations below:
1. PROHIBITED BATTERIES
2. PROPER INSULATION
