  4. Utah lead-acid battery return to dealerState program · UtahConditions applyCost not listed
    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.
