BATTERY RECYCLING
Thursday, September 05, 2024 12:00 AM
Did you know that the nickel and steel recovered from alkaline batteries are recycled into cars and appliances? From September until May 2024, we’ll be collecting used alkaline batteries at the school.
Please collect your used batteries over the summer and bring them to the school in September. We’ll let you know when the bins are back in the front hall.
Accepted Batteries: AA, AAA, C, D, 6V, 9V, and button cell (e.g., for watches). Only single-use batteries can be recycled through this program (no rechargeable batteries). Please collect your batteries in a bag and send them to school with your child, who will deposit them into our collection containers. Before sending your batteries to school, please ensure you follow the instructions for preparing your batteries. Batteries can be sent to school with students and deposited in the bins beside the Principal’s office just inside the school’s main doors (on the left). Students can also ask teachers for help if they’re unsure where to deposit them.
