Although Oklahoma point-of-sale notices do not require specific language, notices must be posted at or near the point of display or sale to inform the public that lead-acid batteries are accepted for recycling. The Oklahoma point-of-sale notices must be posted by September 1, 1993, and printed by battery retailers. For purposes of this law a “lead-acid battery” means a lead-acid electrical device used in boats, planes and motor vehicles.
The pandemic has shown us just how vital the lead battery industry is. Without 12V batteries, first responders can’t function; food and medical supplies can’t reach their destination; essential employees can’t get to their jobs....It’s as simple as that.
