Maui County announced Tuesday that its free tow and scrap vehicle recycling program will no longer accept hybrid or electric vehicles.

The change takes effect immediately. The county said it is due to disposal limitations, and eligibility for the tow and scrap program is being restricted to vehicles with lead-acid batteries only until further notice.
