Battery recycling returns on July 16

GAF

The Golden Age Foundation (GAF) will hold a battery recycling service on Tuesday, July 16, in the Clubhouse 2 parking lot from 10 a.m.-noon. GRF IDs are required.

The GAF will accept alkaline, carbon zinc, nickel cadmium (NiCd), nickel metal-hydride (NiMH), lithium ion (Li-Ion), lithium metal, silver oxide, button cell batteries and all other dry cell batteries.

Residents are asked to place each lithium battery in a separate baggie as part of the recycle requirements. No commercial batteries will be accepted.

The GAF requests that residents put all hearing aid batteries in a separate bag. This service is only for residents’ personal household batteries.

It is important to recycle batteries instead of throwing them in the dumpster to keep waste fees low and keep the planet clean.
