Topic of the month
We have started a new program! The newest material that we are beginning to collect is Alkaline Batteries. Currently we have three pilot sites
that are collecting theses types of dry cell batteries, we will run this pilot phase for two months to determine an estimate on the possible amount of material
that we will be collecting and then add more towns where they will be collected.
