California rules

California prohibits batteries in household trash and curbside recycling bins. Use a battery collection site or household hazardous waste program, and confirm the battery types and quantities it accepts.

Businesses in California must determine which waste rules apply to their batteries. Hazardous waste batteries may qualify for universal waste management under 40 CFR Part 273; spent lead-acid batteries sent for reclamation have another federal management option. Confirm container, labeling, accumulation, and shipping requirements with California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) and your recycler.
