Battery Recycling

Though many leading battery manufacturers such as Duracell have voluntarily removed non-recyclable metals from their batteries, many batteries today are still constructed with materials not suitable to find their final resting place in a landfill. Battery recycling plays an important role in preserving and protecting our environment. Leading junk removal businesses such as 365 Junk Removal Company place a high priority on proper battery recycling practices and are pleased to offer this service to their Vancouver customers. Batteries containing the materials lead, nickel, lithium, alkaline, mercury, cadmium, acid, or nickel metal hydride cannot be thrown out with regular household trash. But neither are they well-suited for being deposited in a landfill.

Why?

Batteries contain toxic chemicals and metals which do not break down in a landfill environment. But more than that, the chemical properties in a battery are negatively affected by rainwater which causes leakage and creates a potentially toxic cocktail known as leachate. Leachate contaminates the soil beneath the batteries and also affects the groundwater which runs downstream to become part of the drinking water supply. It’s not difficult to see that improper battery disposal leads to a harmed environment and potentially ill effects on our health. There is only one solution to this problem, and it is responsible battery recycling. Not sure where to recycle old batteries? 365 Junk Removal Company takes the worry out of proper battery recycling by doing it all for you!

Most of the items we share our homes with are battery powered. Whether the battery is built in or requires installment, the onus is still on us to recognize items which are battery-operated and to dispose of them responsibly when they are no longer useful in our homes. But this can be a big job, and many homeowners become overwhelmed by it. Instead of recycling their old, unwanted appliances and devices, they simply stockpile them somewhere with the intent of one day gathering them all up to take to a recycling depot. Yet, for many people, that day never comes…

There are also many different types of batteries available today. Some do not contain hazardous materials and can be disposed of with your regular weekly trash. But others must be separated into their metal and chemical categories for proper recycling at the appropriate depots. It’s a lot for the average homeowner to keep straight. Battery recycling is necessary to protect our environment, but it certainly is not a simple task. That’s where 365 Junk Removal Company comes in. Need batteries recycled? We’ll make it happen! A leading Vancouver company specializing in battery recycling, we will pick up your unwanted batteries and sort and dispose of them properly, ensuring environmentally safe practices are observed.
