Several students attending SkolaSajf recently visited some of the 45 commercial establishments where Battery Buster Bins have been installed.

They explained to patrons how batteries can harm the environment when disposed incorrectly and promoted the Battery Buster Campaign.

The students encouraged customers to take part in the Battery Buster competition by placing a minimum of five used batteries in a sealed paper or plastic bag, affixing a label bearing their contact details, and depositing it in a Battery Buster Bin in any of the participating outlets. The more bags deposited, the greater the chance of winning one of the prizes, which include a 32-inch flat screen television, a digital camcorder and a WebSurfer Netbook.

Further details about the Battery Buster Campaign, including the list of participating outlets, as well as the downloadable labels to be affixed to the exterior of the bags, can be found on the website www.batterina.net.
