Texas

It is illegal (Class C Misdemeanor) to discard or improperly dispose of a motor vehicle battery or other lead-acid battery.

Recycle your used batteries.

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

Texas point-of-sale notices must be printed by the state and must include the three chasing arrows recycling symbol.
