ALHAMBRA, Calif., March 31, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Thanks to a grant from the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle), the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments (SGVCOG)  is making it easier for consumers to recycle household batteries.  Since 2006, the State of California has banned disposal of these types of batteries in the trash.  The SGVCOG is creating a program for consumers to support  proper battery recycling and management by providing convenient drop-off locations at retail and business locations throughout the San Gabriel Valley.
