Rhode Island law keeps car batteries out of the trash: they have to go back to a dealer, a licensed recycler or Resource Recovery. TVs, computers, monitors, laptops, tablets and mercury products are banned from landfill disposal in the state. Tires and appliances aren't banned outright, but Resource Recovery recycles them, and town transfer stations charge for them.
