Waste Wise Schools collect a variety of items for recycling or for fundraising. Items include batteries, mobile phones, bicycles, spectacles and even clothes.
Battery collection
Batteries are one of the most common hazardous waste materials that are incorrectly placed in our kerbside bins. In the metro area many of the regional councils have a community or school collection program, resources or competitions. Contact your council for more information.
