BATTERY RECYCLING

BHG Power’s Battery recycling process has been put in place because we believe in keeping the environment free from pollution. We offer the best price on your second hand or old batteries. As a registered battery recycling company with one of the major smelters in South Africa, we collect batteries or you can deliver them. We recycle the batteries and provide you with a disposal certificate. Avoid legal implications to your company in the event that the third-party contractor does not comply with the law.

BHG Power Storage Solutions offer a competitive price on second hand batteries for recycling services for all types of lead–acid batteries, we pay our clients a price per kilogram. This encourages recycling of old batteries instead of abandonment or disposal with household waste. BHG Power will remove and dispose all batteries collected. “We confirm that the batteries will be disposed of in a professional, and safe manner”.

Definition of Hazardous Waste: defines that lead-acid batteries are defined as Hazardous Waste and shall be disposed of in terms of section 23 of the Atmospheric Pollution Prevention Act – 1965 for lead processes. This act simply prohibits the improper disposal of all lead-acid batteries. It is the responsibility of the owner/end user from the date of purchase to the date of disposal to ensure appropriate and legally acceptable method of disposal.

BATTERY RECYCLING

The only acceptable method of disposing lead-acid batteries is to recycle them at an approved secondary smelter, managed under the Environmental Health and Safety Act. The reason for the strict set of rules governing the disposal of batteries is that lead-acid batteries are composed of 60-75% lead, lead-dioxide and a sulfuric acid solution electrolyte. This heavy metal element makes them toxic and improper disposal can be hazardous to the environment.

Improper disposal of lead-acid batteries show up in the form of pollution of our drinking water, and food produced from ingredients exposed to small and moderate levels of lead content. Humans are susceptible to the effects of lead and children are the most vulnerable. Lead’s primary target organ is the peripheral nervous system which causes poor growth, delayed learning and reduced intellect. This is also known as lead-poisoning.

BATTERY RECYCLING PROCESS

BHG Recycle Process

All batteries collected by BHG Power Storage Solutions will be recycled as part of the Government promulgated Environmental Health and Safety Act. The onus to dispose of these batteries becomes BHG Powers responsibility. A Certificate of Recycling will avoid future legal implications to the company in the event the third-party contractor does not comply with the law. Without such certificate, and as the owner and user of the battery, the Government can pursue various actions against individuals or the company.

BHG Power is registered by one of South Africa’s largest smelter, in terms of section 23 of the Atmospheric Pollution Prevention Act – 1965 for lead processes. The smelters also hold ISO 14001, ISO 9001 and OHSAS 18001 Certifications and Accreditation for their Integrated Management System. Please note that a Certificate of Recycling should be required containing the following information:

  • Contractor name and address
  • Battery type and quantity disposed
  • Date of removal
  • Date of disposal
  • Location and number of the EPA certified recycling facility

Most types of batteries can be recycled. However, some batteries are recycled more readily than others, such as lead-acid batteries. Nearly 90% of all lead–acid batteries are recycled. The lead in a lead–acid battery can be recycled. Elemental lead is toxic and should, therefore, be kept out of the waste stream.
