Eco-Activity: Help keep batteries out of landfills!

Today’s #WasteReductionWeek theme is e-waste, so we’re going to tackle one of the most common types of e-waste: batteries! Dead batteries shouldn’t just go in the trash as they can release harmful chemicals and add to landfills, so they need to be recycled at special drop-off locations. For today’s Eco-Activity, let’s help out the planet and your neighbours by setting up a neighbourhood battery drive!
