SUMMARY:Carlisle-Sunrise Lithium-Ion Battery Recycling Event Rescheduled for 16 May 26
DESCRIPTION:Rotary Club of Carlisle   Sunrise in a partnership with Redwood Materials in Carson City\, Nevada\, will be collecting and recycling lithium-ion batteries and rechargeable devices. Join us on Saturday\, 16 May 2026 between 10AM and 4PM at the Army Heritage Education Center Parking Lot (950 Soldiers Dr.\, Carlisle\, PA) and bring your discarded lithium-ion batteries and rechargeable devices including smartphones\, tablets\, electric toothbrushes\, laptops\, power tool batteries\, lawn equipment batteries\, rechargeable vacuum batteries\, wireless headphones\, and any other lithium-ion battery and help close the loop.\n\nClimate change is creating a global imperative to electrify everything from our vehicles to our grids. Lithium-ion batteries are at the heart of powering all these solutions and are made up of metals like cobalt\, copper\, nickel and lithium along with rare earth elements. At the end of a product's life\, every rechargeable lithium-ion battery is an excellent source for making new batteries and sustainable energy products. By responsibly recycling these products and batteries\, we keep them out of landfills\, reduce the need to mine critical minerals both in the US and abroad\, lessen foreign dependence\, and help increase the security of our domestic supply chains.\n\nSmart phones\, laptops and electric vehicles all are powered by lithium-ion batteries and Redwood Materials can recover more than 95% of the metals from old\, end-of-life products that serves significantly decrease the US' reliance on newly mined materials and overseas supply chains. However\, today\, few pathways exist to get these old products recycled responsibly resulting in a national recycling rate of about 5%. Redwood Materials is on a mission to collect as many of these old products as possible to sustainably recycle\, refine\, and remanufacture these batteries here in America.\n\nEvery rechargeable battery is a source for making new\, more energy efficient batteries and sustainable products. Recycled batteries are actually more powerful than their new\, original source batteries. Consider this\, Redwood Materials' recycling plant is entirely powered by solar energy stored in discarded Li-Ion battery banks\, demonstrating a net zero carbon footprint in the pursuit of recycling Li-Ion batteries.\n\nNote that this event is specific to lithium-ion batteries. We cannot accept other e-waste such as power cords\, flat-screen TVs\, printers\, copiers\, or circuit boards. Those items can be recycled at the Cumberland County Recycling Center (1001 Claremont Road\, Carlisle\, PA 17013)\n\nWe can do more. Our planet needs you. Come recycle with us!\n\nVisit https://www.redwoodmaterials.com/recycle-with-us/ for more information\, including where to find lithium-ion batteries throughout your home
