Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government Phil Hogan TD launched a new campaign to remind everyone to Bring Batteries Back, a nationwide initiative to encourage more battery recycling in Ireland.
WEEE Ireland, the compliance scheme responsible for WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment ) and waste battery recycling will be facilitating the campaign through their network of battery collection boxes in retail outlets, recycling centres and other collection points throughout Mayo county.
WEEE Ireland has already held a series of collection days throughout Mayo in 2011 that were hugely successful, and it is hoped that Mayo natives will continue this good recycling behaviour during Halloween and beyond!
Check out www.batteriesback.ie for more information and to find out where and how you can recycle your batteries in Mayo.
