California’s Commitment to Battery Recycling

A jogging woman with earbuds, watch, and phone all with embedded batteries♻️ California is building a cleaner future, and proper battery recycling is a big part of it. Products with batteries that cannot be easily removed, think wireless earbuds, tablets, phones, and electric scooters, must be recycled correctly to recover valuable materials and prevent pollution.
Starting in 2026, a statewide recycling fee will be collected at the point of purchase to support this effort. Stay informed and do your part. Learn more at https://calrecycle.ca.gov/electronics/embeddedbatteries
