Launch announced to celebrate World Environment Day
Hitches & Glitches (H&G), part of the Farnek Group, launched a battery recycling initiative for its residential customers to celebrate World Environment Day, which took place on Friday 5 June.
The aim of the programme is to encourage consumers to be more environmentally friendly, by simply giving their used batteries to Hitches & Glitches for recycling.
To support their customers, Hitches & Glitches’ maintenance technicians will collect alkaline batteries & lithium ion & nickel cadmium batteries which are the most common type of batteries found in household waste.
“The small used batteries collected will be delivered to our partners in this programme Enviroserve, which is one of the largest e-waste recycling companies in the world, where the batteries will be processed and diverted from landfill,” remarked Kelvin Vargheese, Director, H&G.
The benefits of recycling batteries are clear, apart from saving natural resources and energy, it reduces pollution, reduces the amount of landfill and of course, reduces carbon emissions.
