This regulation applies to the proper disposal, collection, and recycling of lead-acid batteries and small sealed lead-acid batteries. The regulation requires collection, recycling and recovered material processing facilities accepting lead-acid batteries to register with DHEC. This registration requirement does not apply to persons selling lead-acid batteries or offering lead-acid batteries for retail sale or wholesale who at the point of transfer accept lead-acid batteries only from the customers. For more information, contact Katelyn Faretra in the Solid and Hazardous Waste Compliance Section at (803) 898-1372.
