Requesting Honolulu to develop a facility for discarding lithium-ion batteries to mitigate fire risks and environmental threats.

The bill highlights the dangers of improperly discarded lithium-ion batteries, including fire hazards and environmental damage. It references Act 209, which established a working group to recommend battery management practices. The resolution urges the City and County of Honolulu to consider creating a facility for discarding these batteries, potentially in collaboration with the Honolulu Program of Waste Energy Recovery (H-POWER). This initiative aims to reduce fire risks, protect environmental resources, and ensure the responsible management of end-of-life batteries.
