  19. Scrap Metal - Solutions • Waste Reduction • Recycling • Waste Management • Catalytic Converters • Cores • Other Scrap

  20. Lead-Acid Batteries - Problems • Environmental Impact • Batteries contain lead and corrosive acid. • Improper handling = lead and acid leak out • Lead accumulates in soil, surface and groundwater. • Fish and wildlife = harmed, even killed. • Humans = brain damage, developmental problems. • Worker Safety • Regulations

  21. Lead-Acid Batteries - Solutions • Waste Reduction • Recycling • Waste Management • Good Battery Storage • Indoors with secondary containment. • An acid-resistant material: plastic or concrete. • Away from flammable liquids, ignition sources and drains • Outdoors with secondary containment & protected from rain. • Never stack batteries since they may fall and crack.
