Battery Recycle Greenwashing!
My day ...
Visited a location that claims they are a Battery Recycle dropoff facility today. Can you believe that they DON'T RECYCLE Batteries!!! They throw them in the regular trash which then goes out to their dumpster only to end up at a LANDFILL!!! We trusted them to recycle the materials that are dropped of at their facility.
911 recycle which offers some of the best recycling information, has this company listed as a trusted business to recycle these batteries. What's next? We are doing our part to collect them and drive to these locations leaving them with what we thought were trusted recyclers. Why are they claiming to recycle and gaining recognition but turn their backs and dump them into the dumpsters? Why? Greenwashers? This is no fault to 911 Recycle
I will call over thirty places tomorrow and find who is/who isn't recycling batteries. Will they accept them from anywhere and where they send them.
Let's hope this is a start to educating the employees that carelessly toss batteries away that are dropped off by those of us who believe they are recycling them....
