Where Can I Recycle Batteries?
If you’ve ever wondered where to recycle batteries, look no further than your local Interstate All Battery Center®. As the battery recycling leader since 1952, Interstate® Batteries has proven that “green” is more than just a color in our logo.
Here’s one more example of how we’re green: The Interstate All Battery Center of Longview recently was recognized as the local recycling expert at Longview’s Go Green Art Walk, in which more than 20 retail stores hosted an environmentally responsible artist.
In addition to sponsoring the event’s sustainable living video, the Longview All Battery Center had a booth where the team spoke with hundreds of attendees. The store discussed battery recycling and handed out coupons and pencils made of recycled tires.
To promote attendance, the Longview location also held an in-store drawing and awarded a $100 Visa gift card to one lucky customer.
Other Interstate All Battery Centers are also taking part in major recycling activities this month in honor of Earth Day:
