Batteries- lead acid
(vehicle)
On April 25, 2008, a new Ohio law will become effective that prohibits the disposal of lead acid
batteries in solid or hazardous waste landfills. The law is intended to ensure that all spent lead acid
batteries are recycled in Ohio. The law also requires wholesalers and retailers of lead acid batteries
to take your old battery for recycling when you buy a new one. Batteries that are covered by the law
include batteries used in vehicles, motorcycles, wheelchairs, boats, or other forms of motive power.
The law exempts batteries used in consumer products like computers, electronic games, telephones,
radios and similar electronics.
