AI Summary
North Carolina DEQ seeks a media company for a statewide campaign to promote proper disposal and recycling of lithium-ion batteries, effective December 2026 landfill ban.
Beginning December 1, 2026, lithium-ion batteries will be banned from landfill disposal (G.S. 130A-309.10). When disposed of incorrectly in the traditional waste or recycling streams, lithium-ion batteries cause fires on sanitation trucks, at landfills, and at material recovery and other recycling facilities. Additionally, properly recycled lithium-ion batteries conserve critical minerals used in the creation of new batteries. The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), Division of Environmental Assistance and Customer Service (DEACS) is seeking a partnership with a qualified media company to conduct a statewide awareness campaign about the proper management of lithium-ion batteries at the end of their useful life.
