Battery Recycling Comes to Hunter

Informational

batterytubes.jpgbatterytube.jpg

Drop-off points for used household batteries are far and few between in NYC, so this is a welcome addition to Hunter's sustainability effort.  When batteries are thrown into the garbage, they usually end up in landfills.  The caustic acids they contain can leak out and leach into the soil and water table.  Stop by and put your spent batteries into these new, clear plastic, green-capped cylinders. 

68th St. Campus:  Hunter North:  outside room 857; inside room C-006; outside room 121; inside the Welcome Center; inside the Audio-Visual department.  Hunter East:  outside room 1211A.  Hunter West:  3rd floor just outside the cafeteria.
 
MFA Building:  outside room 400.
 
Campus Schools:  inside the Faculty Lounge; near the Public Safety security desk.
 
Brookdale:  near the North and West building 1st floor elevators.
 
School of Social Work:  4th floor, outside of the cafeteria and near the student lounge; 2nd floor, in the Library; third floor, classroom area.
 
All batteries except car and computer batteries are considered "household" batteries.
