At School

The City of Armadale offers schools the opportunity to participate in a household battery collection program for the correct disposal and recycling of batteries.

Batteries contain hazardous materials that can be harmful to the environment if sent to landfill or cause fires in waste trucks and/or recycling facilities when placed in the kerbside collection bins. Collecting batteries separately for recycling means old batteries can be made into new batteries, keeping them out of landfill and saving valuable resources.

For your school to participate, please complete the registration form and send to Waste Services:

Email: info@armadale.wa.gov.au 

Post: City of Armadale
Locked Bag 2 ARMADALE WA 6992
 

Your school will receive:

• Two 4 litre pails that are “dangerous goods” (DG) approved
• Education posters
• Collection and storage guidelines
• An email containing standard wording and images to promote battery recycling

For any further assistance or enquiries the City’s Circular Economy Education Officer can be reached on (08) 9394 5124 or email info@armadale.wa.gov.au

The City of Armadale partners with Plastic Oceans Australasia to provide a waste education program to local schools, free to schools for the first year with subsidises issued thereafter.

Plastic Oceans Australasia Education Program is a comprehensive package of learning materials and hands on activities revolving around single use plastics. Plastic Oceans Australasia provides guided support for the first 12 months and is then designed to be taken on solely by the school and passed down through the year levels as an ongoing initiative until single use plastics in the school are totally phased out. 

Contact Plastic Oceans Australasia via email or visit their website for more information.
