AYLUS San Diego Branch organized the 8th collection and recycling of used batteries in September 2024. We dropped the batteries to recycle at Staples, where our volunteers collected a total of 5 lbs of used batteries.
Scientific researchers have claimed that recycling batteries can save 51.3% of natural resources. The recycling of batteries will contribute towards conserving our natural resources, saving energy, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The used and old batteries can be repaired as well.
AYLUS aims to conduct monthly recycling of used batteries, anticipating substantial savings in natural resources compared to landfill disposal. This proactive initiative reflects a commitment to environmental responsibility and sustainable waste management practices.
On Oct. 31, 2024, the following 27 volunteers participated for 1 volunteering hour.
