Service overview
Batteries contain materials that require careful handling: lead, acid, lithium and other components can pose hazards if handled or stored incorrectly. Our teams follow established safety procedures for containment and transport. We prepare items for handover to certified recycling facilities and document chain-of-custody when requested.
What we accept
- Lead-acid automotive and marine batteries
- Sealed lead acid (SLA) batteries used in backup power systems
- Lithium-ion batteries from laptops, tools and e-bikes
- Small consumer batteries (AA, AAA, button cells) when collected in appropriate containers
- Battery packs from industrial equipment and floor care machines
How the process works
- Assessment: We confirm the types and quantities of batteries, and any special conditions (corrosion, leakage).
- Scheduling: A pickup or drop-off time is arranged. For businesses, regular route scheduling is available.
- Secure handling: Batteries are packaged or contained on site to prevent short circuits or spill.
- Transport: Materials are moved in vehicles outfitted for hazardous goods when required.
- Transfer to recycler: We deliver to licensed recyclers and can provide documentation upon request.
Why proper battery disposal matters
Improper disposal risks environmental contamination, regulatory fines and personal injury. Recyclers recover metals and materials for reuse, reducing the volume of hazardous waste sent to landfills. Businesses that generate batteries must follow record-keeping and storage rules; we help clients meet those obligations.
Who we serve
Our work covers:
- Homeowners with single-item pickups
- Garages and auto repair shops
- Small manufacturers and warehouses
- Property managers and institutions with ongoing needs
Pricing and estimates
We provide clear, itemized estimates. Pricing depends on battery type, quantity and any required hazardous materials handling. Minimum charges may apply for single-unit pickups; businesses with regular volumes can arrange contract pricing to control costs.
Safety and compliance
MP Hauling maintains procedures that align with Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection guidance and federal hazardous materials transportation rules. Drivers receive training on containment and emergency response. Records can be supplied for audits or inspections.
Booking and preparation tips
- Keep batteries upright and supported to prevent tipping during pickup.
- For corroded or leaking batteries, place material in a sealed, labeled container and note the condition when scheduling.
- Separate different chemistries (lead-acid vs. lithium) into distinct containers.
- For commercial clients, prepare pallets or clearly marked collection bins ahead of arrival.

Common questions
Do you accept single AA/AAA batteries? Yes, when delivered in sealed containers. We recommend tape on terminals of loose rechargeable batteries to prevent shorting.
Can you pick up from a business on a schedule? Yes. Routine pickups and on-call emergency collection are available.
Will you provide disposal certificates? Yes. For commercial clients and specific projects we can supply documentation that the batteries were delivered to a certified recycler.
Environmental responsibility
Recovered materials such as lead and lithium are processed and returned to manufacturing streams whenever possible, lessening the need for raw-material mining. Proper disposal also reduces the risk of hazardous substances entering soil and groundwater.
Additional services
Alongside battery handling, MP Hauling offers related waste management services including equipment removal and pickup of electronic waste. Coordinating multiple items in a single visit can reduce cost and site disruption.
