AAA: Making a difference

Saturday October 11, 2008
Recycled batteries collected at nature center

By Sally Judiscak

AAA of East Tennessee presented Ijams with a check for $1,500, proceeds from their battery recycling program. AAA collected donations of used automobile and marine batteries, and then sold them to a battery recycling center. The materials from the batteries are 100% reused, rather than ending up in the landfill.

Thank you AAA for helping make a difference for our environment and for supporting Ijams. Batteries are still being accepted for recycling at the AAA office located at 100 W. Fifth Avenue, Knoxville, TN 37917. All proceeds from the battery recycling sales will benefit Ijams.
