HRS §342I-1
Rules for getting rid of used lead acid batteries
This law says you cannot throw used lead acid batteries in the trash or dump them anywhere. You must take them to a store that sells them, a recycling facility, or a permitted smelter. Stores and facilities cannot take batteries that have had their liquid removed unless the battery is cracked.
