Dear Parents,
IN honour of Waste Reduction Week, Earth Rangers and Call2Recycle are challenging schools across British Columbia to participate in the Battery Blitz School Mission contest.
Silver Star Elementary is participating and students are being asked to bring their used batteries to school for the next four weeks, in order to be recycled. Any battery under 5 kg (with the exception of wet-cell batteries) can be brought in. Refer to Earth Rangers for guidelines on how to prepare household batteries for recycling.
Schools from all across BC are participating in the Battery Blitz Mission. Three amazing Cash Grand Prizes for the schools that bring in the most batteries by weight.
1st place $1,500
2nd place $1,000
3rd place $500
Call2Recycle has collected and recycled almost 30 million kgs of batteries since the program has started!
Challenge closes November 3, 2023
