Batteries
Our many years in the battery recycling business has helped us develop an easy and cost-effective way to recycle all chemistries of batteries including Alkaline, Ni-Cad, Lead-Acid and even Lithium. Because each chemistry of battery is recycled differently, each must be handled and sorted in a different manner to avoid cross-contamination. Our trained staff carefully identifies and separates each chemistry so that the batteries can be shipped to the correct recycling facility. Whether it is a pocketful, a truckload or one of our supplied collection containers, Edmonds will accept it.
Lead-Acid
As one of the biggest players on the west coast for recycling lead-acid automotive and sealed lead-acid batteries, we can offer very competitive purchase rates. Batteries are sent through a crusher and separator to recover pure lead which are remade into new batteries. Call 1-800-882-8850 or click here for pricing or pick-up. If you have any you may drop off at any one of our locations or call for pick-up.
Alkalines
As one of only a handful of companies in Canada that accept and recycle alkaline batteries, the Edmonds Recycling Battery Recycling Program is a breath of fresh air to those concerned about their environment. All of our alkalines are sent to a smelter and materials are separated to capture Zinc and Manganese. Steel casings and other materials produce residual slag which is then sold to make Portland cement.
Ni-Cad \ Ni-Mh
Working with the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation, some of our Nickel Cadmium and Nickel Metal Hydride batteries are recycled with a percentage of profits going to various Canadian charities. The rest get smelted and the materials reclaimed. 99.99% of Cadmium from Ni-Cad batteries recycled is put back into the industry to make new batteries.
Rechargeable Lithium
Even the volatile lithium can be recycled through us. Lithium-Ion batteries contain cobalt which is reused to make new batteries for cell phones and laptops.
