Missouri enacts
50-cent fee for sales of lead-acid batteries
Sept. 27 -- The Missouri Department of Natural Resources on Oct. 1 will
begin receiving a 50-cent fee for every lead-acid battery greater than 6
volts sold in the state.
Money from the fee will go to hazardous waste cleanup efforts, the
DNR said.
The new battery fee was part of Senate Bill 225, which went into
effect Aug. 28 and reinstates, renews and extends fees for environmental
services in the state, the DNR said.
