Battery Recycling Challenge

UNESCO Initiative- Battery Blitz

We need your used batteries.

Rosemont School joined the Battery Blitz Contest; we are helping both our planet and a big world goal from UNESCO. By collecting and recycling used batteries, students and families learn how to take care of the Earth and keep harmful waste out of the environment. It is a fun way to work together as a school and community, learn about recycling, and make a real difference. Every battery collected helps us protect nature and shows that small actions can create a better, cleaner world for everyone. We will be competing with other school in Alberta.

The contest will run between November 1 and November 28, 2025

You can help support your child’s school by following the 3 steps of safe battery recycling.

  1. COLLECT: Gather your used dry cell batteries under 5 kilograms into a non-metal container.
  2. PROTECT: Tape over terminals of lithium, rechargeable and alkaline batteries 9V or higher.
  3. DROP OFF: Bring batteries to the Office.
