In April 2022, the month of Earth Day, we held a battery drive event at my school, Silicon Valley International School, on both Palo Alto and Menlo Park campuses. The event collected over 3400 batteries for recycling!
In December 2022, we organized a second battery collection drive, jointly with INTL Student Council’s Environmental Committee. With energized volunteers, we collected and recycled another 3080 batteries.
Dedicated battery recycle bins are left on each campus to continue collection and recycling!
Check out School Drive and the INTL blog "INTL Teens Against E-Waste (Sophie S., 7th Grade)" for details.
On March 12-13th 2022, we had our first neighborhood battery collection and recycling event. We went door-to-door in our neighborhood, pitched the TAE-1MB campaign, and collected 712 batteries!
In the months of March and April 2022, we reached out to Redwood Villa Senior Apartment. May from the management team was very supportive. Together we organized battery collection and helped recycle over 200 batteries.
During summer 2022, we established collaboration with Dee at the Warburton Place Senior Residence for battery recycling.
