The Jenkintown Borough Environmental Advisory Committee has started a recycling program that allows residents of the Borough to bring their batteries in to Borough Hall and leave them in a recycling bucket. The bucket is for dry cell only, including: Alkaline, 9v, AA, AAA, D, C, NIMH, NICD (less then 9 volts). The Borough is asking residents to scotch tape both ends of the batteries to prevent batteries from short circuiting and to limit direct contact. Please see the attached flyer here, for more information.
The Borough is only collecting batteries at Borough Hall, please do not place batteries in residential recycling container for curbside pickup.
