The previos legislation in New Hampshire forbade the disposal of some type of batteries such as wet- cell batteries and electronics such as CPU’s and video displays. The new Bill, aimed for the prevention of fires, now includes the ban from landfills and incinerators of lithium-ion batteries and any electronic devide. Also it requires owners and operator of landfills, incinerators and waste to energy plants to display a warning and information about the ban. In addition public outreach and education will be necessary.
