Sustainable Fairfax Sponsors Battery Trade-ins for Halloween Treats
Sustainable Fairfax hosted a Halloween Household Battery-Recycling event on October 31st, 2000 from 4:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. This Halloween event took place at the site of our Sustainability Center (141 Bolinas) and exchanged treats for donated used batteries. The event inaugurated a comprehensive program developed by Sustainable Fairfax to encourage residents to recycle household batteries and to be aware of alternative battery options. Household batteries make up 10% to 25% of our hazardous waste stream. These types of batteries contain at least 22 toxic elements plus plastic and steel. All of these elements can be recovered and used in the re-manufacturing of new batteries and other consumer products. Sustainable Fairfax announced the full Battery Recycling Program on January 1, 2001.
