battery waste
Spent power sources
Battery waste refers to discarded batteries and the toxic materials they contain—heavy metals like lead, cadmium, and mercury that can leach into soil and groundwater.
The term appears in environmental regulations and recycling programs: Battery waste must be disposed of at designated collection sites.
