SACRAMENTO, Calif. - DirecTV will pay $9.5 million to settle allegations that its California facilities unlawfully dumped hazardous waste. The state attorney general and Alameda County's district attorney announced the settlement on Wednesday. They said all 25 DirecTV facilities in California were found to have improperly disposed of batteries, electronic devices, aerosol cans and other hazardous materials that ended up in landfills. DirecTV didn't acknowledge wrongdoing, but it agreed to take measures to properly dispose of such waste in the future. The settlement amends a similar 2014 settlement involving AT&T, which acquired DirecTV in 2015.
