IMPORTANT RECYCLING INFORMATION
LAMPS: Crushing of lamps is not permitted in PA under the universal
waste regulations.
BATTERIES: All batteries pose potential hazards during storage
and transportation. There have been numerous incidents where a fire
has occurred resulting from improper packaging of small batteries.
It is imperative that all batteries comply with USDOT packaging
requirements. SYD and Veolia have a legal obligation to ensure that
all batteries are sorted, packaged, shipped, and stored in compliance
with all applicable regulations. These laws require that improperly
packaged batteries be re-packaged before being stored or shipped.
Customer will be assessed additional handling charges for containers
that require this extra service.
All Batteries...
• must be effectively insulated to prevent bare terminals from
coming into contact with other material that can create
evolution of heat and fire through discharge. Taping the
terminals or individually bagging or wrapping each battery are
examples of ways to accomplish proper insulation.
• must be sorted by type. Additional charges will apply for
unsorted batteries
• are charged on a per pound basis by battery type
