Spring into Action – Help Your School Recycle Batteries & Support Barretstown!
We’re excited to launch the 2026 Batteries for Barretstown Schools Challenge, supported by influencer and TV personality Kayleigh Trappe. Schools across Ireland are invited to join us in encouraging students and families to take part in a spring clean by collecting used batteries at home and bringing them to school for recycling.
One simple rule: Batteries never go in the bin.
About the Challenge
Help your students protect the planet and support Barretstown – simply by collecting used batteries. Every school gets a FREE Recycling Kit with a battery tube, posters, reusable battery recycling bags and stickers.
Take Action for the SDGs
By joining the challenge, your school will be helping to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including:
Free Educational Resources
ERP Ireland has created educational materials for teachers designed to help students understand why, how, and where to recycle used batteries, what happens to them after they’re collected. See below…
Ready to Spring into Action?
The challenge is open to all primary and secondary schools in Clare, Cavan, Kerry, Louth, Meath, Monaghan, and Dublin Fingal, where ERP operates.
