As you are aware, it is illegal to dump household batteries (rechargeable or single use) in trash.
The Chadbourne EcoClub will work with the Walk Your Child to School event (first Friday of every month - please refer to the calendar) to collect household batteries. Look for the volunteers in front of the school. An EcoClub parent will drop off the batteries to the household hazardous waste facility.
No auto/other batteries please. If the battery has leaked (liquid of powder), please wrap it in a plastic bag/Ziploc before bringing it to the school. Otherwise, EcoClub will not be able to accept such batteries.
If you can not tell what kind of battery it is, please put it in a separate bag, and let us know.

Sorting the batteries
We have been requested to sort the batteries in three different bins. If you can bring them sorted, it will help the EcoClub volunteers to find the right bin faster.If you can not tell what kind of battery it is, please put it in a separate bag, and let us know.
