Illinois

DO NOT put motor vehicle batteries in the trash.

Recycle your used batteries.

State law requires us to accept motor vehicle batteries for recycling, in exchange for new batteries purchased.

Illinois point-of-sale notices must be printed by battery retailers and must include the three-chasing arrows recycling symbol.
