A few weeks back I took in a whole pallet of batteries from battery back-ups myself. At the same time I took in a whole pallet of ballast (non-PCB). I had them both on separate pallets. When I got to the yard I found out that both had to be stacked with cardboard between the layers for them to accept them. So i had to unload both pallets onto different pallets and insert the cardboard in between each layer. It was a lot of hard work doing this. I will not make that mistake again! Both pallets were 6 layers high. My back still feels it.
