Does the law require car batteries to be recycled?
The Law on Environmental Treatment of Electrical and Electronic Equipment in Batteries 2012 is intended to ensure arrangements for the environmental treatment of electrical and electronic equipment and car batteries, with the aim of encouraging recycling and reuse processes. The law thereby ensures the reduction of the amount of waste and preventing its landfilling.
Batteries made of lead and acid are the great majority of the batteries for vehicles all over the world.
Pay attention 
Used batteries must be removed to a recycling plant, in accordance with the Business Licensing Regulations (Disposal of Hazardous Materials) 1990. According to the regulations, the battery must be removed as soon as possible and no later than six months from the date it is no longer in use. A.D.M group specializes in collecting and transporting batteries to a recycling plant with a standard and the approval of the Ministry of Environmental Protection.
It is important to know 
that burying car batteries has a negative effect on the environment, due to the toxic substances in them. Among other things, it is about lead and sulfuric acid, which can cause serious diseases in humans, seep into the ground and pollute the water, air and more. In fact, the mere exposure to acid in certain concentrations can cause suffocation, lung cancer, intestinal damage, damage to the nervous system, the brain, and more. The acid is so dangerous to humans that it can cause death. Furthermore, lead and its compounds are defined as a hazardous substance according to the Hazardous Substances Law 1993.
The lifespan of the battery is between 3-5 years and by law, manufacturers and importers of car batteries are obliged to recycle batteries, which are defined as hazardous waste. A battery weighs on average about 15 kg and contains about 60% lead, so that in large quantities of battery storage, over 100 kg, a “toxic permit” is required from the Ministry of Environmental Protection.
