On February 18, Vermont officially expanded its battery recycling program under a new law that significantly broadens the types of batteries that can be safely recycled statewide. Under the expanded program, Vermonters can now recycle most primary (single-use) and rechargeable batteries weighing up to 25 pounds (or 2000 watt hours). This includes batteries from common household devices and battery-powered products such as remotes, toys, flashlights, cordless power tools, portable chargers, drones, and more. The expansion also includes medium-format batteries, such as larger rechargeable batteries used in electric and cordless lawn mowers, snowblowers, e-bikes, and e-scooters. These batteries are typically larger than a cordless tool battery but smaller than an EV battery.
