Battery Recycling Program

Did you know that batteries contain harmful chemicals that can damage the environment if not disposed of properly? At St. Patrick’s, we are committed to sustainability and have a battery recycling program to help reduce waste and protect our planet.

We encourage all families to bring in used batteries and drop them off in our designated recycling bin in the front office. Please remember: Button batteries are extremely dangerous for children—keep them out of reach and ensure they are safely stored before recycling.

Let’s work together to create a cleaner, safer future!
