Fruitland Park is a small city with a lot of golf carts. Positioned between Leesburg and Lady Lake, with easy access to The Villages corridor, the city has seen consistent growth in cart use across its residential streets and communities like Spring Lake Village and Venetian Village.
What many residents have not dealt with yet is the end of a battery’s life. Golf cart batteries last four to six years on average. When they fail, the weight alone — often over 60 pounds per battery, 300 or more pounds for a full pack — makes disposal a real challenge. And unlike household batteries, you cannot put these in a bin.
Pit Stop Batteries provides full-service golf cart battery recycling in Fruitland Park. We schedule the pickup, come to your location, remove the old batteries, and deliver them to a licensed recycling facility. Nothing gets dumped.
Standard 6-volt or 8-volt golf cart batteries are flooded lead-acid cells. Each one contains several pounds of lead in plate form, suspended in a sulfuric acid electrolyte solution. These materials are what make the battery work — and what makes improper disposal dangerous.
Lead does not break down. Once it reaches soil or groundwater, it stays there and accumulates. The Lake County area, including Fruitland Park, sits in a region with relatively thin soil above the Floridan Aquifer, meaning contamination from surface-level disposal reaches the water supply much faster than in other parts of the country.
Florida classifies lead-acid batteries as hazardous waste and bans them from all standard disposal channels. Pit Stop Batteries keeps your old battery out of that chain entirely.
