Recycling Trojan batteries

Some companies claim to relieve you of the entire burden regarding the disposal and recycling of your lead-acid battery, but often they only provide partial or limited support. However, generators of hazardous waste, such as spent lead-acid batteries, are nevertheless required to dispose of such waste in a legally compliant manner. The C&D / Trojan Lead Acid Battery Collection and Recycling Program provides an environmentally conscious, safe, convenient, low-cost recycling option.

• We pick up your spent lead-acid batteries at your location and, depending on volume, take them directly to our permitted recycling partners.

• No scrap dealers are involved.

• Partial truckload arrangements are possible.

• Fewer waste streams at the smelter mean less potential for future liability.

• A certificate of recycling is available upon request.

• All recyclable battery components, including lead, plastics, and acid are recycled.

• C&D / Trojan’s recycling partners are permitted by federal and state environmental agencies and are open to customer inspections/audits upon request.

• C&D / Trojan has recycling partners nationwide.
