Main Message to Share with Legislators
.
Please support SF 1690/ HF 1426, and encourage your colleagues on the Senate Commerce Committee and House Environment Committee to support the new battery collection and recycling language, which will replace the current electronic waste language. This will require battery manufacturers to fund safe, accessible collection across Minnesota and ensure responsible stewardship of battery waste.
