Did you know that batteries and electronics have NO place in your garbage or recycling bin? Even so they end up in bins, garbage trucks, and landfills and cause problems! Check out this article about a recent ban made in Seattle and the 'why's' behind it.
Seattle enacts battery and electronics disposal ban to prevent fires
The ban by Seattle Public Utilities, which includes most batteries as well as electronics with embedded batteries, comes ahead of a statewide battery EPR program starting in 2027.
Dive Brief:
- Seattle Public Utilities has enacted a ban on disposing batteries and electronics in municipal solid waste, citing increased fires at city-operated transfer stations.
- The disposal ban, which went into effect on Jan. 1, covers a variety of batteries and electronics, such as toys with embedded batteries, as well as computers, monitors and e-bikes.
- The disposal ban comes after the state adopted a battery EPR law in May last year. That law, meant to reduce fire danger in waste facilities, will require battery producers to fund and participate in an extended producer responsibility program.
