Written for Call2Recycle web/newsletter, June 2014.
The city of Austin, Texas, collaborated with
‘Keep America Beautiful’ and The Ad Council to launch a recycling awareness
program. It will challenge city
residents to recycle five more pounds (2.27 kg) of materials than usual in
order to help the city achieve a goal to keep 50 percent of trash out of landfills
by December 2015. Call2Recycle partners with Austin Resource Recovery to
recycle used rechargeable batteries through their Household Hazardous Waste
program. Find out more about the “I Want to Be Recycled” campaign here.
Starting this month, DEWALT customers in Canada can earn a 10% discount on the purchase of a new DEWALT power tool battery by
recycling their used rechargeable batteries.
Check the batteries in your power tools and get a discount on any
replacements needed.
