Lead is used in most of the batteries all over the world. So battery scrap is used to get Lead to reuse through recycling process. It depends upon the type of battery. Most car, truck, motorcycle, boat etc. batteries are "Lead Acid" batteries; which means they are considered to be a hazardous waste due to Lead and acid. A transporter of spent Lead-Acid batteries must ensure that the batteries are loaded and braced properly so as to prevent any damage, leakage of Lead dust or battery fluid, or short circuits
