Recycling Batteries in School is cool.

Environmental Benefits for Students:

  • Reduced Environmental Impact: Recycling batteries prevents harmful materials from contaminating the environment, contributing to cleaner air, water, and soil.

  • Resource Conservation: Recovering materials through recycling reduces the need for extracting new raw materials, conserving natural resources.

  • Energy Savings: Recycling consumes less energy than extracting and processing raw materials, leading to overall energy savings.

Educational Opportunities for Students:

  • Hands-On Learning: Participating in battery recycling programs provides students with practical, hands-on experience in environmental stewardship.

  • STEM Education: The program offers opportunities for students to explore science, technology, engineering, and math concepts related to recycling and sustainability.

  • Environmental Awareness: Engaging in recycling initiatives helps raise awareness about environmental issues, fostering a sense of responsibility among students.

  • Community Involvement: Students learn the importance of community involvement and the positive impact they can have on the environment through collective efforts.

Program Overview

Simple Steps for Schools to Participate

  1. We decide how many ResQ Bins will be needed for your school.

  2. We have your art classes and/or students paint their ResQ Bin for each grade/class.

  3. Each student will get a ResQ box to bring home and collect their used and unwanted household batteries.

  4. Every three months ResQ will collect and tally the batteries to be recycled.

  5. EOY awards for grade/classes/individuals who recycled the most.
