Rotary Lithium-Ion Battery Recycling Event May 16

The Rotary Club of Alameda is teaming up with Redwood Materials for a lithium-ion battery recycling drive.

Look for the Rotary banner and reserved drop-off parking spaces in front of City Hall. Help “mine the junk drawers of America” and keep valuable battery materials out of landfills.

Date: Saturday, May 16, 11am - 3pm
