With the 2010 USDOT
change in regulations regarding the transportation of waste
batteries, the MCMUA will no longer be able to accept mixed batteries from
municipal collection points and depots for recycling. Municipalities
and residents are now encouraged to mange their spent batteries
according to the
"Easy as 1-2-3" suggestions.
The MCMUA's mixed battery recycling program will terminate
