Green Team battery recycling
Green Team is collecting batteries to be recycled from now until Winter break. The classroom with the heaviest weight of batteries will win a popcorn party courtesy of the Green Team which will be delivered after winter break. (Popcorn to power your bodies).
Tips for sending in batteries:
1. October is fire safety month which means it is time to change smoke detector batteries.
2. Clean out those old toys before the holidays and send in the old batteries before donating the toys.
3. Reminder that watch and hearing aid batteries are accepted as well.
Remind everyone : Batteries contain chemicals that are harmful to the environment, including lead, cadmium, zinc, lithium and mercury. ... Consequently, if they are not recycled, they end up in the landfill, polluting soil and water by leaking toxic chemicals into the ground.
