GBRAI in conjunction with the Brooklyn Community Centre are running a "joint venture" for domestic battery (button batteries, AA, AAA, C, D and lithioum but not car or other battery packs) alongside the current WCC batery recycling trial.
WCC had a limited number of collection sites (7 - and the closest ones to wider Brooklyn are: The Tip Shop and the Southern Landfill, Kilbirine Library or the library between Brandon St and Panama St - Te Awe). So we decided to try and make it that much easier for the wider Brooklyn community. We collect them (the bin is by the front door of the BCC) then add them to the WCC collection bins. All to do our bit diverting these batteries from the landfill.
WCC are running these collections in conjunction with Waste Management who: collect and sort the batteries, ship them to Auckland and them export them to a battery recycling plant in Australia.

To date, GBRAI / BCC have collected: AA batteries 4.010kg of AA batteries, 1.350kg of AAA batteries, 0.300gm of C batteries, 0.300gm of D battries, 0.150gm of button/circular batteries and 0.600gm of 9V rectangular batteries.

This brings the total collected to date(10/10/2022) total weight 6.710gm that has been diverted from the landfill. We will look to continue a rolling monthly update.
