RIGHT, LEAD IS RECYCLED!   Currently lead acid batteries are sent to the 
Phillippines or Mexico.   On the east coast they are sent to Brazil.

The lead salt saturated acid is dumped on the ground and
into streams .  The batteries are chopped up and melted down in open
crucibles
and are returned to the US as nice clean ingots. The workers are exposed
to 
lead fumes and solutions without protection.
