  3. Louisiana lead acid battery retailer take-back (R.S. 30:2420)State program · LouisianaOpen to everyoneConditions applyCost not listed
    How it works

    Anyone selling lead acid batteries at retail in Louisiana must accept used lead acid batteries from customers at the point of transfer, at least as many as the new batteries bought, and post a notice saying so. Lead acid batteries may not go in household trash. The law does not say whether a store must take a battery without a purchase or whether it may charge.

    Cost & rules
    • Lead acid batteries only (such as car and other motor vehicle batteries), taken where you buy new ones. The law does not say whether a store must take one without a purchase or whether it may charge.
    • Lead acid batteries may not go in household trash. They must go to a battery retailer or wholesaler, an authorized collection or recycling facility, or a permitted smelter.
