Paslode Cordless Fuel Cell Disposal Guidelines
Paslode the industry leader in cordless technology provides this information to assist users with the proper disposal of discarded
fuel cells. Acceptable disposal options vary depending on the type of fuel cell users. All users must consider federal, state and
local solid waste regulations to ensure that discarded fuel cells are disposed of properly. Users must contact their local solid waste
authority for further guidance.
Discarded fuel cells (used or unused) may be considered hazardous waste under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act
(RCRA) depending on several factors as described in the paragraphs that follow. Upon disposal used and unused fuel cells may be
classified as ignitable hazardous waste (waste code D001) under U.S. EPA regulations.
Hazardous waste generated by homeowners and contractors who perform routine maintenance for homeowners in their homes are
not regulated by RCRA. In general, "household wastes" generated by homeowners and their contractors are exempt from hazard-
ous waste regulation because those wastes are expressly excluded from the definition of hazardous waste. For example US EPA
has excluded as "houshold waste" aerosol cans that contain residual product and propellent. Thus under federal hazardous waste
regulations homeowners and contractors may dispose of discarded fuel cells as general refuse in a properly permitted municipal
landfill. These users must still contact their local solid waste authority to determine if any state or local regulation prohibits or
restricts such disposal.
Paslode takes no responsibility for proper fuel cell disposal. Proper disposal remains the responsibility of sellers and users. All
sellers and users must contact their local solid waste authority to determine if any federal, state or local regulation prohibits or
restricts disposal. Users may obtain more information about U.S. EPA hazardous waste regulations at the following internet
