I specifically want to know about alkaline D, C, AA, AAA and 9V batteries and rechargeables. I think there is a new law that is aimed at reducing mercury in landfills but I don't know what penalties violators face.

I lived in California and I have never heard of such a law. but if you want you could contact your Senator and find out through their offices.
The only thing I know for sure is that any state you live in you can not throw Car Batteries in the household trash. If caught that would mean jail time...

Thats stupid. Where are you supposed to put them? It seems like there are more and more things were having to take to different places. Eventually every item of trash were going to have to take somewhere and we will pollute even more with gasoline. What weird laws.
Dont get me wrong I dont like pollution but seriously.
