AAA Battery Roundup Program to benefit Wildlife Center of Silicon Valley

[Guest guest]

WCSV is participating in the annual AAA Battery Roundup Program which

enables people to drop off old car batteries at designated sites at no

charge to you. This program runs from April 12 - 22. Each battery

collected is worth $2 to our organization. Last year we received

$2,000! We're hoping to double that amount this year. Please help us

achieve our goal and help keep the environment clean at the same time.

For more information go to http://www.batteryroundup.com/. When you

drop your battery make sure to tell them it is for the Wildlife Center

of Silicon Valley.

 

Please help spread the word to those you know about this program.

There are posters, flyers and leaflets here at the Wildlife Center for

anyone interested in dropping them around town.

Safety Tips: wear gloves and safety glasses when handling batteries,

keep them upright and place batteries in a cardboard box or plastic

container when transporting them for recycling. If the battery case is

cracked or leaking, be especially careful to choose a leak-proof

container. Do not smoke or expose batteries to an open flame, and make

certain they will not shift and tip over in a moving vehicle.
