YOU PLEDGED.. WEEE DID IT!!!
WEEE Asked- You Answered…
1 Million waste AA batteries were recycled through WEEEPledge in 2016!
A big thank you to all you teachers and students who have incorporated waste battery recycling into your school recycling activities by joining the WEEEPledge programme. An impressive 1 Million waste AA batteries were recycled through WEEEPledge in 2016 and contributed significantly to the overall increase in the amount of batteries recycled in 2016.
On behalf of WEEE Ireland and LauraLynn, brand ambassador Bosco we would like to say a huge ”Thank You” to all the boys and girls in households and schools who recycled their waste batteries in the blue WEEE Ireland battery boxes. Each and every battery that has been recycled is going towards this great charity. Together we have and can continue to make a visible difference!
LauraLynn, Ireland’s Children’s Hospice has been WEEE Ireland’s charity partner since 2011. Since then, every battery recycled by the public in the blue WEEE Ireland battery boxes has gone towards a donation fund for the charity. Today, with the help of an old friend, Bosco, WEEE Ireland is delighted to deliver a further donation of €50,000 to LauraLynn, bringing its overall donation since 2011 up to a staggering €285,000.
By achieving these huge battery recycling figures through the efforts of the public, WEEE Ireland has been able to provide critical funding for the palliative care services for children with life limiting conditions cared for at LauraLynn.
