How it works
Utah DEQ tells households to return lead-acid (car, truck and boat) batteries to the dealer. Utah law (Utah Code Title 19, Chapter 6, Part 6) bars these batteries from landfills and other solid waste facilities. Ask the store about any limits or charges.
Cost & rules
- Lead-acid (vehicle) batteries only: DEQ says to return them to the dealer. Household batteries of other types need special care; DEQ points to a separate locator for lithium batteries.

Before you go

Tape the terminals of lithium and rechargeable batteries before transport.
Keep damaged, swollen or leaking batteries separate and tell the operator.
Ask which battery types are accepted; car batteries often go somewhere different.
