The full-day workshops will take place on April 29-30 at the California EPA Headquarters, 1001 I Street in Sacramento, in the Coastal Hearing Room.

Experts on battery and lightbulb product stewardship will present case studies and lessons from recycling programs around the world. They will then design pilot collection projects for California.
