ALEXANDRIA, Va. — City Council gave City Manager James Parajon consensus direction Tuesday to convene a workgroup on lithium-ion battery disposal, after a city committee reported that residents with damaged or swollen batteries have no clear or affordable way to get rid of them.
The Local Emergency Planning Committee sent its recommendation in an Oct. 8 letter from Chairman Robert Dubé. Councilman Abdel-Rahman Elnoubi, council’s liaison to the committee, brought it to the dais.
“Right now there isn’t always a clear and safe and affordable disposal path for residents, businesses, or even city operations,” he told colleagues.
