recyclers for reclamation. Battery recyclers are permitted hazardous waste
treatment recycling facilities. If you have just a few batteries you should contact
your local battery retailers or wholesalers.

10.2.4 Nation-wide Recycling:
Most retailers, auto parts stores or service outlets that sell new lead-acid
batteries will accept a small number (one or two) of spent lead-acid batteries for
recycling. If you have a larger quantity to be recycled, call to verify that your
chosen outlet can handle a larger quantity of old batteries.
Even in a state where there is no lead-acid battery recycling law, it is common for battery
retailers everywhere in the U.S. to accept used lead-acid batteries from customers. The spent
batteries collected by retailers are shipped to EPA licensed and regulated facilities for recycling.
