BATTERIES - Car

We have a comprehensive and extensive Battery Recycling system in Australia with 98 % of  car batteries being recycled.  Car Batteries contain lead and as well as sulphuric acid. Keeping these toxic chemicals out of the environment is essential.  The lead and plastics recycled from the batteries are often  used to manufacture new batteries and  the sulphuric acid can be used to make detergent.  Significant energy savings are made by recycling these products.  Warning: Lead acid batteries are hazardous DO NOT put in kerb side bins, find a recylcer below.
