Library Learning Services is participating in the Penn State battery recycling program. If your department has devices that use batteries (ie wireless mice, remotes, etc.) please don't toss used batteries in the trash – send them to us and we will recycle them for you! Please note that this is a change from past practice when only rechargeable batteries were recycled. Any and all batteries are now to be recycled.
The battery recycle bucket is located in the LLS workroom.
