Our Hazardous Waste Program received an award for rechargeable battery recycling

You have brought tons (literally!) of rechargeable batteries to us for recycling.  Thank you!

This afternoon, the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation (RBRC) gave us a 2007 “Regional Recycling Leadership Award” for our battery recycling program.  Did you know that we received 6,300 pounds of rechargeable batteries in 2006?  The estimates for 2007 are even higher.  (Read the full news release)

Three other programs were also given 2007 Regional Recycling Leadership Awards from the RBRC: Hennepin County Environmental Services in Minneapolis, the City of Austin (TX) Household Hazardous Waste Management Program and the Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune Environmental Management Division (NC). Congratulations to all!
