"Persons who generate, transport, regenerate,
collect, and store spent lead-acid batteries prior
to reclamation, but do not perform the actual
reclamation, are not subject to hazardous waste
regulation. EPA established those provisions to
encourage the recycling of these batteries. However,
owners and operators of facilities that store spent
batteries before reclamation, other than spent
batteries that are regenerated (processed to remove
contaminants and restore the product to a useable
condition), are subject to regulation in a manner
similar to hazardous waste treatment, storage, and
disposal facilities (TSDFs). Handlers of lead-acid
batteries may also choose to manage them under the
universal waste provisions"
