Ms. Grimolfson’s grade 6 class has decided to start a project to help save our envi- ronment! We are collecting old batteries from staff, students and our community for recycling. The recycled materials that come from batteries are used to manufac- ture things such as: new batteries, sunscreen, stainless steel pots and pans, golf clubs, silverware and asphalt for roads. This is a great opportunity to keep these batteries out of the landfills. We are accepting batteries that weigh less than 5 kg; rechargeable and primary batteries. We are also accepting cell phone batteries, batteries from tools, and button cell batteries. We DO NOT accept any batteries that are damaged or leaking. We also DO NOT accept any wet cell batteries such as car or boat batteries. Please send any old batteries from home that fit this criteria to the school with your child in a clear plastic bag or with the terminals of the batteries taped with duct tape, packing tape or non-conductive electrical tape. Thank you for your role in helping our class keeping our envi- ronment clean! -Ms. Grimolfson’s Grade 6 students
