Do you have any of these batteries at home and are not sure how to recycle - AA, AAA, C, D and 9V batteries (both rechargeable and non-rechargeable)?
Many of these batteries contain toxic metals such as cadmium, mercury and lead. Others contain valuable materials like magnesium and zinc. Used rechargeable batteries are a hazardous waste and should not be placed in the garbage bin. This includes batteries in laptops, mobile phones, power tools and cameras.
Saint David's Parish School is encouraging students and families to bring any of these batteries to school to be recycled safely.
Please drop off at the Front Office.
