Sinclair, Batteries Plus Offering Free Battery Recycling in April

Sinclair is encouraging its employees and viewers to recycle household batteries at a Batteries Plus location or through their local municipalities under its “Sinclair Green” promotional campaign running through April in honor of Earth Month, said Sinclair Thursday. Each of more than 700 Batteries Plus locations will accept up to five pounds of household batteries and recycle them free of charge for residential customers in April, it said. Batteries Plus estimates more than 3 billion batteries are thrown away across the U.S. in an average year, said Sinclair.
