Don’t let that old battery sit in your garage! Car batteries, including premium brands like Bosch, Amaron, and Globatt, contain lead-acid and sulfuric acid that can be extremely harmful to the environment if not handled correctly. At ExactMatch Ltd, we are committed to keeping Kenya green by promoting safe battery disposal and recycling practices.
Why You Should Never Throw Away a Car Battery
Standard household waste bins are not the place for automotive batteries. When batteries end up in Kenyan landfills, they can leak toxic chemicals into the soil and water supply. Proper recycling ensures that up to 99% of the lead and plastic in your old battery can be reclaimed to manufacture new ones.
How to Safely Handle and Dispose of Your Battery:
- Safety First: Always wear gloves when handling an old battery. Check for leaks or white powdery corrosion around the terminals.
- Keep it Upright: To prevent acid leaks, ensure the battery remains in an upright position during transport.
- The “Trade-In” Advantage: Most motorists in Nairobi and across Kenya benefit from “Battery Scrap Value.” When you purchase a new Hegmo or Amaron battery from ExactMatch Ltd, we can help you dispose of your old one responsibly.
- Authorized Collection Points: Only hand over your old batteries to licensed recyclers or reputable dealers who follow NEMA (National Environment Management Authority) guidelines.
