Batteries contain toxic heavy metals (lead, cadmium, lithium) that are harmful to the environment if landfilled. Signs encourage proper disposal, helping your facility comply with environmental regulations and universal waste laws. They are a core part of any workplace recycling program.
Signs are available for specific types (e.g., "lithium batteries," "Lead Acid Battery Recycling") or general "universal waste - batteries" labels. There are also signs with instructions like tape terminals before disposal.
This label is required by the EPA for containers holding used batteries. It must clearly identify the contents, the date accumulation started, and the shipper's information. You can find these under universal waste labels or waste labels for legal transport.
Taping the terminals (ends) of batteries prevents them from touching each other and short-circuiting, which can cause sparks and fires in the recycling bin. Safety labels or custom labels with these specific instructions remind users of this critical step.
Place them directly on the collection bins, drums, or buckets used for battery storage. Larger wall signs should be placed above the collection station to guide employees to the correct disposal point.
