  • Battery disposal rules

    Yes

    Car (lead-acid) batteries are banned from Washington's trash and landfills. Stores that sell them must take your used battery when you buy a new one; without a trade-in you pay a deposit of at least $5, refunded within 30 days.

    Household batteries: Washington's battery stewardship law (RCW 70A.555) takes effect January 1, 2027, with producer-funded free collection and a disposal ban for portable batteries. Until then, EPA says keep rechargeable, lithium and button batteries out of the trash.
