The 2023-2024 Schools Battery Recycling Competition is now closed.
A massive well done and thank you to all the schools that have taken part in this year’s WEEE Ireland Schools Battery Recycling Competition, where more schools have entered than ever before!
Battery collections are coming to a close around the country and 6 schools will be in with a chance to win a €2000 sports equipment voucher.
3 Vouchers will be won by Primary Schools and 3 vouchers will be won by Secondary Schools that have collected the most batteries in their school size category.
The final 6 winning schools for the 2023-2024 competition will be notified and announced in September 2024.
There’s so many positives to battery recycling! Recycling batteries can contribute to your school’s sustainable development goals to prevent climate change and help contribute to the circular economy by giving batteries a new life. You will also be supporting LauraLynn, Ireland’s Children’s Hospice, with every battery you recycle going towards a donation fund to support their vital work.
The WEEE Ireland Schools Battery Recycling Competition will return for the 2024-2025 school year.
Good luck to all of our entries! Will your school be one of our 2023-2024 Winners?
