Choose GlobalTech for Utility Meter recycling.
Utility meter recycling requires a strong commitment to quality and the experience to make it easy for the customer. GlobalTech Environmental provides safe and professionally-managed utility meter recycling that is designed to meet all applicable regulations. According to the United States Department of Transportation (DOT), most utility meters are considered to be a non hazardous waste while they are being transported unless they contain a battery within the unit. Most of these batteries are Lithium batteries, which are a Class 9 material.
GlobalTech Environmental has both the experience and the equipment needed to properly manage and dispose of and recycle hazardous materials such as water, gas or electric meters. We also have at our disposal tractor trailers that can be used to effectively manage large quantities of Non hazardous and Hazardous materials. This is the ideal solution for those businesses who are searching for an easy, legal and environmentally-friendly way to manage and dispose of large quantities of these materials.
Tips for Storing and Transporting Utility Meters
To make things easy, GlobalTech Environmental wants you to know that the DOT considers any water, gas or electric meters that have a lithium-based battery or a lithium-ion battery that is rechargeable to be hazardous. As such, the agency requires that they are shipped in accordance with their hazardous waste regulations.
Storing Utility Meters
If you are interested in utility meter recycling and your electric, gas or water meters have Li-ion batteries, the shipping container must have a "Universal Waste" label securely fastened to the shipping container. Meters with these kinds of batteries that are being stored for waste disposal or electronic scrap recycling must also have this label attached to its shipping container. The label must be prominently marked as "Waste Batteries."
Shipping and Transporting Utility Meters
If the utility meters are being shipped over the road (OTR) and contain batteries, their shipping containers must include the Hazardous Material label #9. The utility meters must be packaged sufficiently in order to prevent short circuits, an evolution of heat and damage to the terminals if the lithium battery is removed from them.
