How to Deal With Rechargeable batteries Now in New York

Today rechargeable battery is more and more used by people ,recycling battery is a very important thing. The Rechargeable Battery Law, signed by then-Gov. David Paterson a year ago, prohibits the disposal of rechargeable batteries as in laptops or cameras in non-recyclable containers.

The ban includes cell phone batteries, which are typically replaced every 18 to 24 months, and rechargeable alkaline batteries. The batteries must be returned to recycling bins in the retail sector.In June, retailers were required, recycling containers for the consumer offer in their stores if she sold batteries. Small grocery stores that sell rechargeable batteries, are excluded.
Will provide the containers can result in fines of up to $5,000 for the retail trade. Individuals who have proven you have knowingly thrown out the batteries, threatening fines of $50 for a first offence and $100 for a second would be.

"Those disposal bans are very difficult to enforce. You don't have garbage police, you don't have municipalities or private haulers rummaging through people's garbage bags and saying, 'You're not allowed to throw this out,'" said Laura Haight, a senior environmental associate for New York Public Interest Research Group.

The law covers most rechargeable dry cell, non-vehicular batteries weighing less than 25 pounds. It lists any rechargeable battery as ones using nickel-cadmium, sealed lead, lithium ion or nickel metal hydride.

"I think it's going to make a significant impact in keeping toxic chemicals out of landfills and other places where it can do harm in our environment," said Assemblyman Robert Sweeney, D-Suffolk County, chairman of the Assembly Committee on Environmental Conservation.

Haight and Sweeney said the law was successful in placing the outlets and the number of people with them so far. Battery manufacturers are required that get collected batteries and one annual report to the State Department of environmental conservation.

"It puts primary responsibility on the manufacturers and the retailers to deal with it on the back end, when it is being disposed of," Sweeney said.
