WE Believe In The Power Of Recycling
Tossing your lead-acid battery into the trash is dangerous and harmful to the environment.
We know that. That's why we do everything we can to educate our customers on how to dispose of lead-acid batteries safely and correctly.
More than 90% of all battery lead and plastic is recycled in North America, making lead-acid batteries one of the most highly recycled consumer products in the world, surpassing aluminum soft drinks and beer cans, newspapers, and old tires.
