TV stations use a lot of batteries in their tech operations and production facilities. So Sinclair Broadcast Group has launched a program, Sinclair Green: Battery Recycling, encouraging its employees and viewers to recycle household batteries at a Batteries Plus location.
The campaign runs through April in conjunction with Earth Month.
“Our goal is to reduce the impact of our business on the environment by reducing our battery usage and providing employees methods for recycling batteries, as well as educating communities on how they can do their part to reduce their impact on the planet,” says Rob Weisbord, Sinclair’s COO.
Through https://sbgi.net/green, viewers can access information on battery recycling and find their nearest Batteries Plus location, where all household battery types, including disposable alkaline batteries, will be accepted, and recycled free of charge during April.
Free recycling services are available at more than 700 Batteries Plus locations, limited to five pounds of household batteries for residential customers only.
“Batteries Plus is committed to protecting the environment and our mission is to recycle more than we sell, with our stores recycling approximately 53 million pounds of lead acid batteries every year,” says Scott O’Farrell, Batteries Plus COO.
