It is illegal to discard a motor vehicle or marine battery.

Recycle your used batteries.

State law requires us to accept used lead-acid batteries for recycling, in exchange for new lead-acid batteries purchased.

When you purchase any new lead-acid battery, you will be charged an additional ten dollars ($10.00) unless you return a used lead-acid battery for refund within thirty (30) days.

Arkansas point-of-sale notices must be produced, printed, and distributed by the state and must include the three-chasing arrows recycling symbol.

The lead acid battery ... is legendary. We can recycle 95+ percent of [these] batteries all across the world. It's a very safe chemistry, ... [and] we understand how to use it very, very well.
