Are You Ready to Take Your Used Batteries on a New Adventure?
Since 2017, communities and schools across Ireland have recycled enough batteries to reach the International Space Station more than 20 times! Now we’re inviting your school to send your used batteries on a new adventure – and help support Barretstown at the same time.
About the Challenge
The Batteries for Barretstown School Challenge educates students about the importance of battery recycling and encourages them to collect used batteries to help protect our planet.
Schools can register for free to receive a recycling kit and every battery recycled contributes towards a donation fund for the children’s charity.
Take Action for the SDGs
By joining the challenge, your school will be helping to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including:

Ready to Join the Adventure?
The challenge is open to all primary and secondary schools in Clare, Cavan, Kerry, Louth, Meath, Monaghan, and Dublin Fingal, where ERP operates.
