By placing recycling bins, hopefully municipalities, communities, public bodies, environmental organizations and military units will participate in the AFIS battery recycling system.

 

Our goal is to place as many bins as possible in such places and other buildings where a large number of people visit on a daily basis.

Recycling bins are placed in shops and big kiosks to facilitate people in placing their old batteries even in their neighborhoods.

 

The long list of these stores includes chains of mobile phone shops, electronic and electrical shops, photographic equipment shops, technical service and spare parts shops, battery shops etc. 

Private and public businesses take part in the battery recycling program and collection bins are placed in their offices where employees and associates of these companies can bring their old batteries.

 

In this way private and public business can significantly contribute to the collection of batteries and the achievement of our country’s targets.

 

Supermarkets are excellent points to collect batteries. Easily accessible with regular and significant transit, they will support the recycling program by placing battery collection bins in their premises.

Students from many schools in Cyprus have begun a significant effort to collect and recycle batteries. AFIS reinforces this effort by providing recycling bins, informative material and presentations about recycling in almost all schools all over Cyprus.

 

It is known that children consume the biggest amount of batteries due to the vast amount of toys and portable devices they use. Thus, the placement of recycling bins in schools, facilitates the growth of collection and recycling of batteries and therefore in this respect it is a necessity. 

 

In addition, the placement of bins in schools aims at increasing the environmental awareness among the kids, the future if our country.
