C-6.7.1 Battery disposal
PROTECT THE
ENVIRONMENT
Used lead-acid batteries cannot be disposed of as
normal industrial solid wastes. Because of the
presence of harmful substances, they must be
collected, eliminated and/or recycled in accordance
with the laws of the UE.
In Italy, used or discarded batteries have been
classified as “Toxic wastes” in accordance with
Presidential decree n. 397 of 09/09/1988 and Law n.
475 O.G. n. 18 of 09/11/1988 because they contain
lead and sulphuric acid. Their disposal through
recycling must be done only through companies
authorised and belonging to the “Consorzio
Obbligatorio Batterie Esauste e dei rifiuti piombosi”
(Cobat) which collect and dispose of used lead-acid
batteries throughout the national territory.
Used batteries must be kept in a dry and confined
place. Make sure the battery is dry and the cell
plugs are tight. Place a sign on the battery to warn
of not using it. If before disposal the battery is left
in the open air, it will be necessary to dry, smear the
box and the elements with a coat of grease and
tighten the plugs. Do not rest the battery on the
ground; it is always advisable to rest it on a pallet
and cover it. The disposal of batteries shall be as
rapid as possible.
