Lead acid batteries are those typically found in cars, boats and motorcycles. By law, these batteries are banned from landfills and incinerators because their toxicity levels pose a harm to our environment.

Fortunately, these batteries are readily recyclable! Most battery retailers will recycle lead acid batteries upon replacement. For residents who choose to replace their own, old lead acid batteries can be dropped off at the Residents’ Convenience Center at Alpha Ridge Landfill.

All three main components within the battery (lead, acid and plastic) are recycled. Once separated, the lead is smelted and poured into ingot molds in preparation to be sent to battery manufacturers. They are then used to produce new lead plates for new batteries. The sulfuric acid can be converted into sodium sulfate, to be used in the production of household products like laundry detergent and glass. The polypropylene plastic pieces are sent to a plastic recycler where they can be heated and molded into new battery cases.

In 2020, we recycled about 29.17 tons of lead acid batteries!
