Battery Saturday - November 6, 2010 - Suffern NY Goes Green
GO GREEN on Battery Saturday - The village of Suffern, NY is trying to do their part in GOING GREEN. They have set Saturday, November 6th, 2010 as BATTERY SATURDAY” – meant to encourage people to keep their toxic batteries out of the waste stream. This will be their 2nd annual event.
Though the Town of Ramapo recycles batteries the drive to Pomona to the Rockland County Solid Waste Authority to dispose of them is often just not worth the trip for just a couple of smalll batteries. On Battery Saturday you won’t have to go far - batteries will conveniently be collected at Suffern Village Hall from 9AM to 1PM.
So, take advantage of the opportunity to ea
sily and safely dispose of old batteries the GREEN way and schedule battery replacements, maintenance and check-ups for vehicles, appliances, smoke alarms or any other devices in your home that use batteries. If you haven't already done so this year, now, might be a good time to change your smoke detector batteries too.
Batteries of all sizes will be accepted – from small triple A’s to car and truck batteries.
So..... Let's all chip in and do our part in GOING GREEN and keep toxic batteries out of our waste stream!!!.
This event is being co-sponsored by the The Village of Suffern and the CSEA Unit 8639.
