The ban targets virtually
every kind of household battery, used to operate devices ranging from toys to
radios to hearing aids - AA, AAA, C cells, D cells and button batteries as well
as fluorescent tubes and bulbs. (All
car/lawnmower/tractor batteries are taken only at A.C.E.S. Waste Services in
Pine Grove and Amador Disposal Service at the Buena Vista Landfill Transfer
Station.) Until now the only option Amador County residents had available was
the County’s Household Hazardous Waste (HHW) Collection Facility every other
Saturday at the Buena Vista Landfill Transfer Station.
The new program created
by the Amador County Waste Management Department in collaboration with A.C.E.S.
Waste Services, Amador Disposal Service, Meeks Lumber & Hardware, and Ace
Hardware and Lumber located in Pine Grove and Ione now is offering 3 convenient
locations. 1. Meeks Lumber
& Hardware – 10422 State Hwy 49, Martell
2. Pine Grove ACE Hardware – 19660 Hwy 88, Pine Grove 3. Ione ACE Hardware – 217 W. Jackson, Ione. Amador County Waste Management Department
