30 schools across the midlands took part in a battery recycling competition in 2024.
Schools across the Midlands are being encouraged to contribute to recycling targets by taking part in a battery recycling competition.
WEEE Ireland is launching their campaign for this year for five schools across the country to win a 2,000 euro sports voucher for their school, and raise awareness about the new EU Batteries Regulation.
Over 30 schools across the Midlands took part last year with 13 schools participating in Westmeath, 12 in Offaly and seven in Laois.
Elizabeth O'Reilly, Head of Head of Environmental Compliance at WEEE Ireland says every school can make a difference:
