31% of waste in the US consists of containers or packaging.
The Office of Energy & Sustainability and Environmental Health & Safety offer a battery recycling program for alkaline batteries to faculty, staff, and students.
Battery recycling bins are located in the 1300 York Avenue Building, Belfer Research Building, and the Feil Family and Weill Family Student Center.
Please note that batteries other than alkaline need to be collected by EHS for safety, because they are considered hazardous waste. You can submit a waste pick up request through the Salute Portal or you can contact EHS. You can also get EHS to pick up your alkaline batteries if that's more convenient for you.
For more information about battery recycling and disposal, please visit the EHS site. If you have any questions, please reach out to Matthew Domser, Hazardous Materials Manager.
Locations:
1300 York Avenue – First floor, in front of the LC elevators.
Belfer Research Building – First floor behind the turnstiles by the passenger elevators.
Feil Family and Weill Family Student Center - Next to the lobby.
