According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, more than 100 million automotive lead-acid batteries are produced annually in the United States. About 97 percent of lead in spent batteries is recyclable, but an estimated 5 million batteries are not recycled each year. Each battery contains, on average, 21 pounds of lead, three pounds of plastic and one gallon of sulfuric acid. Improper disposal can put toxic substances into landfills, and subsequently into the groundwater.
