Title: Curbside Battery collection returns March 9th

---------------------------------------------------



 Dufferin residents should start seeing the familiar orange battery bags arriving in mailboxes this week. The twice-annual curbside battery collection is happening from March 9 to 12. During that week only, residents can place their used single-use household batteries out on their regular collection day in the orange battery bags provided. The battery bags should be placed on top of Blue Box contents at the curb. The used batteries are sent to Raw Materials Company in Port Colborne for recycling. RMC's process is unique because they are able to recover and reuse 100 per cent of each alkaline battery with no materials going to the landfill. Using a mechanical process, the zinc, manganese, potassium, steel, paper and plastic are all recovered and reused. Up to 92 per cent of the battery components are upcycled, which means they become available for continued reuse over and over again.
