Pennsylvania rules

Businesses in Pennsylvania must determine which waste rules apply to their batteries. Hazardous waste batteries may qualify for universal waste management under 40 CFR Part 273; spent lead-acid batteries sent for reclamation have another federal management option. Confirm container, labeling, accumulation, and shipping requirements with Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and your recycler.
