  2. North Dakota lead-acid battery retailer trade-in (NDCC 23.1-08-08)State program · North DakotaOpen to everyoneConditions applyCost not listed
    How it works

    North Dakota bans lead-acid batteries (car and similar batteries) from municipal waste and landfills. Anyone who sells lead-acid batteries at retail must accept used ones as trade-ins when you buy new lead-acid batteries. The law does not say whether a store must take a battery without a purchase or whether it may charge. NDDEQ adds that battery sellers and scrap metal dealers typically recycle lead-acid batteries, sometimes paying for them.

    Cost & rules
    • Lead-acid batteries only, as trade-ins when you buy new lead-acid batteries from the retailer.
    • Battery sellers and scrap metal dealers typically recycle lead-acid batteries and may pay for them.
