Lead Recycle or Disposal Options

[Claude Laney <cflaney@bellsouth.net>]

I am looking for information on the most cost effective means of
recycling or disposing of lead.  The lead is not contaminated with
radioactive material and is enclosed in approximately 1/4 inch steel
plate.  The construction of the lead and steel plate structure date to
the late 1950's to the early 1960's.  There will potentially be low
levels of surficial contamination on the steel exterior of the structure
at the time of removal from the site; therefore, it may require
transportation as radioactive material and transfer to an NRC or
Agreement State licensed facility.

I would appreciate any information that could assist in the recycle or
disposal of this material.  Please send information to
cflaney@bellsouth.net

Thanks,

Claude Laney, CHP
