The applicable Hazardous Waste Number for spent lead acid batteries is D002. * There appears to be a contradiction here, as Generators of Used Lead Acid Batteries are suppose to be exempt from Parts 262, except for the requirements of §262.11, which then makes reference to §262.32. CFR 40, PART 268, Subpart C
It is illegal to dispose of, or even try to dispose of, a lead-acid battery on or in any land, including landfills, lakes, streams or the ocean. Abandoning lead-acid batteries on streets and parking lots or placing them in waste dumpsters also constitutes illegal hazardous waste disposal, and can be prosecuted under state law.
The 3 main Federal Regulations that relate to the safe management of used or spent lead acid batteries, are; The Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Hazardous Waste Regulations, regulated under Subtitle C of the Resources Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA).
The most common packaging method used for transporting used lead acid batteries destined for recycling is the wood pallet. The Battery Council International (BCI*) provides some excellent guidelines on how to package the different types of lead acid batteries for highway & rail transport.
The Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC) has released the standard operating procedure (SOP) for the recycling of lead scrap/used lead-acid batteries. The SOP aims to regulate the import, transport, and recycling of lead-bearing waste while minimising environmental and health risks.
Because they contain lead and sulfuric acid, lead-acid battery disposal is fully regulated as a hazardous waste management activity, but when intact lead-acid batteries are managed for recycling, the handling requirements are relaxed.
