Volunteers Needed for Battery Recycling Program

The Battery Recycling Program, initiated by Todd Cook, an MSW student, continues to positively move forward at Andrews University. As of October 22, approximately 150 pounds of batteries have been collected for recycling. Cook says the majority of batteries for recycling have gone to the RadioShack at the University Park Mall in Mishawaka. “Radio Shack continues to support me in my efforts. The manager, David Lint, and the store employees are awesome to work with,” says Cook. Cook’s efforts have been self-funded and supported, however, team members are needed. In particular, additional manpower is needed to collect batteries from the campus drop-off containers. If you are interested in joining the efforts please contact Todd at 574-367-0456.
