Yonkers Insider: New York State Assemblyman Nader Sayegh: Do Not Throw Rechargeable Batteries In The Trash.

 

Rechargeable batteries now power cordless drills, lawn mowers, robot vacuum cleaners and so many products. Did you know that by State Law, it is illegal to just throw them in the trash? They must be recycled and there are plenty of businesses that, also by State Law, must accept them. These include hardware stores, big box home improvement stores and many more. Please protect our environment by keeping these batteries out of the waste stream.
