3 1 Abstract This 20/20 Stockton proposal is for a battery recycling drop-off center, focusing on single use and rechargeable batteries. This will be implemented through the use of a third-party recycling program: Call2Recycle. By utilizing drop boxes in the main campus center organizations like SUST or S.A.V.E. can manage the box while providing an easy, cost effective way for battery recycling. With initial costs being only $99.00, this is a new and innovative way for Stockton to control their e-waste and promote sustainable practices.
4 2 Justification and Project Rationale: Single use and reusable batteries are often thrown away and end up directly in landfills. Because these batteries contain valuable materials and/or can be considered hazardous, Stockton University should employ a system that responsibly recycles batteries. Overall, becoming a member of Call2Recyle would help with this issue while demonstrating aspects of sustainability at little cost to the University. The inspiration for this project stems from our personal experience of seeing batteries constantly being thrown away. This proposal s rationale is to help eliminate this unnecessary waste coming from these batteries. Proposal: Introduction Many people only think of disposing batteries in the trash, and they typically don t consider the option of recycling. Only in California, regulations are in place so that all batteries, of any type, are considered hazardous waste and therefore have to be responsibly recycled. Responsible handling of batteries in California include all single use batteries of sizes AAA, AA, C, D, button cell, 9 Volt, and all other single use and rechargeable batteries. Batteries are considered hazardous because of the metals and other toxic and corrosive materials they are composed of. Recycling in California is accomplished in three ways: a universal waste handler, a hazardous waste disposal facility, or an authorized recycling facility (Recycling). This is a great model to show that batteries should and can be recycled and treated as hazardous waste. Call2Recycle is currently North America s largest, most reliable recycling program (Call2Recycle). This program is geared specifically on recycling batteries and cellphones,
5 3 however for this proposal we will focus on only batteries. This is in part to not interfere with preexisting, ongoing projects that utilize old cell phones on campus. With Call2Recycle, businesses and organizations can participate free of charge. Once signed up, Call2Recycle typically ships a special cardboard box that first acts as a battery collection container. When it comes time to shipping, the box is then specially folded and transformed into a standard shipping cardboard box. An image of a typical Call2Recycle box is in the Appendix to provide a good visual. For some larger organizations like Home Depot, even larger sized metal containers are used. Project Goals and Objectives Become a single use/reusable battery drop center through Call2Recycle. Have a set of battery collection boxes that are implemented in the Stockton Campus Center. If successful, boxes can also be further implemented in student housing areas (TRLC, Lakeside Lodge, etc.). Measure the success of the recycling program by monitoring collection rates over the first year. Success will indicate that battery waste is being prevented from entering landfills. Promote ideas of sustainability and have an educational aspect with this program. Awareness will be spread regarding responsible recycling for battery and electronic waste. Plan of Action Becoming a member of Call2Recycle is simple and would not interfere with current battery disposal practices at Stockton. A survey will be implemented to estimate the amount of batteries that can be recycled within a given time period. After becoming a no cost member of
6 4 Call2Recycle, a large battery drop off container will be placed in the entrance to Stockton s Campus Center. Depending on the success of initial battery collection, the recycling program can also be spread to student housing by potentially including boxes in the TRLC and Lakeside Lodge at Stockton University s main campus. There are a number of goals for setting up drop off boxes for single use and rechargeable batteries. One goal is to conserve resource material of batteries by recycling. Some batteries pose an environmental threat due to the release of toxic chemicals. Since standard single use batteries no longer have added mercury, these have been recommended to be thrown away by many utilities. Still, discarding these deemed safe batteries wastes valuable materials. In order to assess if the recycling plan is successful, we would see how many batteries have been collected over time, see if this rate is consistent with preliminary surveys, and observe if the battery collection rate increases over substantial periods of time. An educational aspect promoting battery recycling will also be prominent feature of this project. Currently included is a sample brochure that can be handed out to spread awareness of a drop off box program and teach the significance of recycling batteries. Also of importance would be the education aspect including the importance of responsibly recycling electronic waste such as cellphones and computers. Overall, the brochure and survey will be ways to spread recycling awareness and to obtain useful information regarding estimates of battery weights that can be collected. Other forms of media would be implemented as well to spread awareness. As an example, televisions on campus could provide a PowerPoint slide with useful battery recycling program information included.
7 5 Faculty Advisor Alice Gitchell, who works as Stockton s energy specialist, would be an ideal faculty advisor that would support and oversee this project. While Alice is involved primarily with utilities and managing energy usage, she has provided us with insight into overall campus waste disposal, a breakdown of campus recycling, and how both of these relate to campus greenhouse gas emissions. Alice has had responsibility with decision making on some aspects of the campus as well, and she has specifically been a strong influence on getting two of Stockton s campus buildings to be LEED certified. Since Alice is involved with campus decision making and is passionate about sustainability and environmental quality, she makes an excellent advisor for a battery recycling program. Time Frame The time frame for this project would begin with collecting data to quantify the total amount of batteries available for recycling on campus. This would be done through conducting surveys and looking through Stockton s purchasing records of batteries and electronics. (Example Survey in Appendix) For conducting surveys, one week mid-september or a whole semester would be allocated for data collection. For the specific week, surveys would be collected for Monday through Thursday to get an overall representation of students and faculty that go to school during a typical week. The surveys would be handed out in hotspots at Stockton in locations such as Campus Center Coffee House (Dunkin Donuts), the Campus Center Cafeteria, F-wing by the library, etc. After analysis of surveys, an average monthly collection of batteries would be estimates by weight in pounds (lbs.) by combining surveys with purchase order records. Estimates would be planned to be made by the end of the week following surveys. Once estimates are completed,
8 6 the Call2Recycle application can properly filled out including expectations of weight and how often we will need to ship containers of collected batteries. Once ready, collection boxes would be set up in the main entrance of the Stockton Campus Center. An educational aspect of battery and electronic recycling will also be carried out at this point. Collection of batteries will then be monitored over time and compared to estimates of collection. It will be deemed successful if battery collection were somewhat consistent or greater than initial estimates made. Over longer periods of time, rates of battery collection will also be determined. If battery collection rate increases over the first two semesters then the project will be considered successful. If successful, adding additional boxes to housing areas (TRLC, lakeside lodge, etc.) will be considered as well to improve overall collection and add convenience to residential students. A simplified version of the discussed time frame is discussed below: Initial week: conduct surveys and analyze battery and electronic purchase orders. By end of second week: estimates of collection rates would be made based on surveys and purchase orders. Third week: Join Call2Recycle for free and pay initial fee for boxes. Place box in Campus Center main entrance and begin monitoring collection rates. Employ educational aspect by handing out brochures, sending a college wide , and also potentially getting a campus TV advertisement. Over first two semesters implemented, this program would be evaluated by comparing collection rates to initial estimated rates. Also, this project would be seen as successful if battery collection rates significantly increase with time over the first year.
9 7 Year 2: Depending on the success of battery collection in the campus center, additional boxes can be added to student housing areas for the start of the second year, Collection Details and Acceptable Batteries The plan is to have two Call2Recyle collection boxes. One box would be available for collection at a time. Shipping of the collected batteries will be on a regular schedule (weekly, biweekly, monthly, etc.) and will be determined based on preliminary estimates. To ship collected batteries, the box that was used to collect batteries gets folded and transformed into a standard shipping box. Once a box is shipped back to Call2Recycle, the second box will be set up for collection. Eventually, Call2Recycle will also return the initial box for further collection, For the management of these collection boxes including setup and shipping, the boxes will be either handled by a student worker in the Campus Center or by a student organization or club like SAVE or SUST. With Call2Recycle, most single use and rechargeable batteries are acceptable for collection as long as individual battery weights are less than 11 lbs (Call2Recycle).The battery chemistries allowed for drop off for Call2Recycle are as follows: nickel cadmium, lithium ion, small sealed lead acid, nickel metal hydride, alkaline, and nickel zinc. Also, allowed for drop off are: alkaline manganese (AAA), zinc air (AA), zinc carbon (CC), lithium (D), and silver oxide (9 volts) (BU: 107). All of these batteries can be place in one single stream box. Damaged, defective, and recalled (DDR) lithium ion batteries are however are not acceptable. Costs and Budget Call2Recycle is a free service to join. However, there are a few associated costs with this proposal. The only monetary cost is for the actual boxes. On the Call2Recycle store there are 3
10 8 available box options: small box $35.00, large box $59.00, or two large boxes for $ For this proposal, we are going to implement the $99.00 dollar double boxes. The benefit of having a dual box system is it saves roughly $20.00 dollars than buying two separate large boxes and prevents any timeframe of a box being not available for battery collection during shipping of boxes. Once ready for shipping the boxes can be placed on any delivery truck like FedEx. The boxes are then sent back in the mail and the cycle continues. This ensures there will be no times where there is not a box for drop off. In the future, any extra boxes wished to be put in different locations are campus would just need another $ Only a worker will have the added duties for being responsible for the management and shipping of recycling boxes (bringing to FedEx truck during regular delivery). However, this task can easily be delegated to a student or student organization. In particular, an existing club that promotes ideas of sustainability, like SAVE or SUST, could be in charge of managing and shipping Call2Recycle boxes. Assessment Measures Measuring the success of the program is important. Initial estimates of battery collection based on surveys and purchase orders will be used to determine if the rate of battery collection is successful or has room for improvement. Also battery collection rates will be continuously monitored. If battery collection rates increase, then the recycling program will be considered improving and as successful. With a successful outcome with Campus Center collection box, collection boxes can also be implemented in the future in housing areas (TRLC, Lakeside Lodge, etc.)
11 9 Conclusion Battery recycling bins can be obtained using Call2Recycle and be implemented into the campus center. While promoting sustainability, this recycling program will be beneficial for preventing batteries from entering landfills and allowing for the recycling of valuable materials. The bins will only cost a onetime fee of $99.00, and these can be simply managed by either a Campus Center student employee or by a club or student organization. Overall, success will be measured for the first year of implementation, and the recycling program can also be extended towards student housing areas if successful.
