DHS Green Eagles Battery Disposal Drive

batteriesBatteries contain heavy metals such as mercury, lead, cadmium, and nickel. When these batteries are deposited in a landfill, these heavy metals have the potential to slowly leach into our soils, groundwater, and surface water. This is a huge environmental concern.

The DHS Green Eagles are now collecting batteries for recyling. Students and staff can bring their old household batteries to the drop off box in the main office to ensure that they will be disposed as hazardous waste.

The Green Eagles meet every Tuesday at 11:30 in room 107.  All interested students and staff are welcome.
