AV俱乐部

We are happy to announce AV俱乐部鈥檚 new approach for battery recycling on campus. Academic departments,听units, and reception desks on all campuses can request a collection box and听poster from the mailroom for your departmental area (Halifax 902-494-3476; Truro 902-893-4614). These boxes should be displayed in visible location as determined by the department. Public battery buckets on campus will be removed as the battery box program will replace this system. Health and safety concerns regarding open buckets and mixing of batteries and flammable material like paper is one of the reasons for the change.

It is important to note that:

• Batteries听(not including automotive/wet cell) can be recycled by depositing them in the box.
• For safety reasons some batteries must be taped at the terminal, and/or bagged.
• Charts will be present at all box locations, that give battery specific information.
• Bags are provided with the box, tape is not.
• AV俱乐部 issued employee mobile phones will not be accepted as they must go to ITS to be wiped for re-issue or recycling.
• Student/personal mobile phones can be place in a bag and then boxed at all AV俱乐部 Library location battery boxes.

Once the box is full (no more than 30 kg), administrators can arrange for collection through Facilities Management by submitting a FAMIS service request. The content of the boxes will be recycled by听. To see how watch their video听.听
