Power Positivity with ‘Batteries for Barretstown’

ERP created a programme, ‘Batteries for Barretstown’ to educate Ireland on the importance of battery recycling and increase the number of batteries recycled in Ireland through ERP collection points. Since its launch, the education initiative has generated sustained media coverage across national, regional and online media; increased battery recycling numbers by engaging Irish consumers and stakeholders across the country, driving behavioural change and raising much-needed funds for Barretstown.

Please place our ‘Batteries for Barretstown’ boxes or collection tube in a convenient location in your school, so that your pupils can recycle their used batteries. To arrange a collection or request more boxes, simply ring our operations team on 0818 332 757 or email info@erpcollect.ie

‘Batteries for Barretstown’ is operational in 8 counties – Louth, Meath, Monaghan, Dublin Fingal, Limerick, Cavan, Clare, and Kerry.
