Recycle Those Batteries!

The School Recycling Club has everything you need to host a battery recycling event at your school!

Recycle Batteries!Not many people know that batteries can be recycled, so this is your chance to get the word out.  Get the teachers and students in your school together and set up a day to collect old batteries.  Now is the time to start planning.

First, find out if your local transfer station or recycling facility accepts batteries.  If they don’t, arrange to drop them off at a nearby location.  Check out http://www.des.state.nh.us/nhppp/UW/batteries_home.htm to help you get started.

Second, go to the CLUB’s website and download a pre-designed flyer to advertise your event.  Just add your event date and information. 

Third, reuse boxes to collect the batteries.  Make signs that say “Recycle your old batteries here.”  Ask your transfer station what kinds of batteries they accept and post details on each box.
 
Fourth, collect the batteries!  Ask teachers to offer extra credit for students who bring in batteries.

Fifth, RECYCLE THEM.  Set up a time to drop them off at your prearranged location. Make sure to record the event with pictures!  Let the CLUB know so you can be highlighted in the next newsletter.
