What Is Scrap Lead?
Scrap lead comprises discarded or recycled materials containing lead, a dense, corrosion-resistant metal. Common applications include lead acid batteries, roofing materials, pipes, and radiation shielding. While valuable, lead requires careful handling due to its toxicity. Recycling scrap lead is crucial for environmental and health reasons, as it reduces the demand for raw materials and minimises the risk of lead pollution.
