NYS Rechargeable Battery Recycling Law

The NYS Rechargeable Battery Recycling Act requires manufacturers of certain rechargeable batteries to collect and recycle the batteries statewide in a manufacturer-funded program at no cost to consumers. Most rechargeable batteries contain toxic metals that can be released into the environment when improperly disposed of. Consumers across the state will now be able to safely return to retailers rechargeable batteries for recycling or proper management at the end of their useful life.
