Whether you want to get rid of clean lead scrap or lead acid batteries scrap, we can take it off your hands and ensure it’s responsibly recycled.

Why Recycle Lead?

One of the biggest reasons to recycle lead is to minimise the environmental hazards associated with this heavy metal. Lead is highly toxic and can pose serious health risks, especially when it enters water or soil. By recycling clean lead scrap and other forms of lead, you can prevent the release of harmful substances and ensure that it remains contained within controlled processes.

Another great reason to recycle lead is conservation of natural resources. Recycling lead significantly reduces the demand for virgin lead ore mining, which saves energy and reduces greenhouse gas emissions. This contributes to a cleaner and healthier environment for present and future generations.

Where is Lead Most Commonly Found?

Lead is commonly found in various everyday objects, such as lead acid batteries used in vehicles, uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) and backup power systems. These batteries are reliable and durable, but they eventually reach the end of their life cycle. For information on recycling these batteries, check out our Electric Motor Scrap services.

Apart from lead acid batteries, lead can also be found in electronic waste, ammunition, solder and various consumer products. Recycling these products ensures the lead can be recovered and reused, reducing the need for new lead mining and manufacturing.
