  3. Minnesota lead acid battery retailer take-back (Minn. Stat. 325E.115 and 325E.1151)State program · MinnesotaOpen to everyoneConditions applyCost not listed
    How it works

    Anyone selling lead acid batteries at retail in Minnesota must accept used lead acid batteries from consumers, even without a purchase, and may not charge to receive them; up to five at a time. Buyers of a new battery pay a surcharge of at least $10 unless they return a used one (refundable within 30 days with a receipt). Lead acid batteries are banned from the trash.

    Cost & rules
    • Lead acid batteries (such as car batteries) only. Any lead acid battery retailer must take them, even if you do not buy a battery, and the law says retailers may not charge to receive them.
    • If you buy a new battery without returning a used one, you pay a surcharge of at least $10, refunded if you bring a used battery and the receipt back within 30 days.
