Batteries
are now classed as Hazardous Waste.
The Special Waste Regulations 1996 combine with the existing
Duty of Care and Health & Safety regulations and aim to
ensure scrap batteries are disposed of safely and their valuable
component parts, lead and polypropylene are recovered for
recycling.
It
is now an offence to allow the removal of scrap batteries
from any premises unless the following requirements are complied
with:
1) The carrier who collects the scrap must be
registered with the Environment Agency as a carrier
of controlled waste.
2) No scrap batteries can be removed from your premises without
the official consignment note procedure being completed.
3) For each collection of scrap batteries you must have,and
file a carrier schedule confirmation slip which must be kept
for three years.
4) Under the Duty of Care you must be sure that the carrier
is recycling the scrap. It is illegal to put scrap batteries
into landfill sites or to dispose of them in any way other
than via an authorised waste receiver and processor.
You
can be safe in the knowledge that your batteries will be collected
and secured by our fully experienced registered drivers, Carrier
