Radway Lions Club begins recycling program

By Brandie Majeau

The Radway Lions Club is embarking on a new initiative aimed at making a community

impact and reducing battery waste within landfills. The “Make a Positive Impact Battery

Recycling” project encourages community members to recycle their household batteries

in one of their receptacles located throughout Thorhild County. Currently, these

receptacles can be found at Thorhild Grocery or Thorhild Hardware locations. The

Radway Lions Club thanks North Corridor Co-op for becoming their first community

partner. Recycling batteries can help prevent harmful chemicals from leaching into the

soil and water, reducing the environmental impact.

Radway Lions consider safety as a top priority. To ensure everyone’s safety and reduce

potential risks of fire, they kindly ask that all battery ends are taped or individually

bagged before depositing them in the recycling receptacles. They have taken extra

precautions by securing a roll of masking tape to each receptacle, making it as

convenient as possible for individuals to adhere to this safety measure.

The Radway Lions Club believes that the success of this initiative lies in a collective

effort. If any organization shares the vision for a cleaner world and is interested in

partnering to become a collection site, they are warmly invited to contact

radwaylionsclub@gmail.com. The Radway Lions encourage all individuals to join them

on this important initiative. Individual participation is crucial in expanding the reach of

this battery recycling project and making a positive impact on the environment.
