  4. Missouri lead-acid battery retailer take-back (RSMo 260.262)State program · MissouriOpen to everyoneConditions applyCost not listed
    How it works

    Missouri bans throwing away lead-acid batteries (car, boat and other vehicle batteries). Stores that sell them must accept used lead-acid batteries from customers at the point of transfer, at least one for each new battery bought, and post a sign saying so; wholesalers must do the same. A 50-cent state fee is added to each new lead-acid battery sold. Without a purchase, DNR says to ask a retailer whether it will take the battery.

    Cost & rules
    • Lead-acid batteries (car, boat and other vehicle batteries) only. Stores selling them must accept used ones from customers at the point of transfer, at least one for each new battery bought.
    • If you are not buying a new battery, ask a retailer whether it will take the old one, or ask your solid waste management district.
    • Lead-acid batteries may not go in the trash; each one is a separate class C misdemeanor.

  5. The Battery Network (formerly Call2Recycle) store drop-off (Missouri)Nonprofit service · MissouriOpen to everyoneConditions applyCost not listed
    How it works

    Missouri DNR names Call2Recycle, now called The Battery Network, a nonprofit battery recycling program with thousands of drop-off locations. Most sites take common household and rechargeable batteries; some take e-bike or other large batteries. Find a site with the ZIP code locator and check what each location accepts. Neither DNR nor the locator page says whether drop-off is free.

    Cost & rules
    • Most sites take common household and rechargeable batteries; some take e-bike or high-energy batteries. Check the location's details first.
    • Do not put electric-vehicle or home energy storage lithium-ion batteries in the trash or recycling; contact the maker, dealer or installer.
    • Before you go: Tape the ends of used batteries before storing or dropping them off.
