Celebrate Earth Month with AAA South Jersey

VOORHEES, N.J. – This April, AAA South Jersey invites you to celebrate Earth Month with us. All month long, several initiatives and events will promote sustainability, conservation, and protecting our environment.

In partnership with One Tree Planted, AAA South Jersey will donate one tree for every vehicle battery we recycle in April.

AAA is Driving Change through our vehicle battery recycling program. Since its inception 25 years ago, we have recycled over 30 million batteries! Not only do we recycle every battery we replace, but we also encourage others to do the same! Anyone can drop off their batteries at one of our AAA Car Care Centers or Approved Auto Repair, and we will make sure they are disposed of properly.

Unrecycled batteries can discharge large quantities of lead and sulfuric acid into the environment, creating health, safety, and fire hazards for humans and animals alike.

The AAA battery program is a year-round effort that collects and recycles as many old batteries as are installed annually. Last year alone, AAA recycled over 2.5 million batteries with the lifetime total of the program topping 30 million.

In addition to the Driving Change initiative, AAASJ has partnered with the New Jersey Tree Foundation for a tree planting volunteer event. A team of a dozen AAA South Jersey employees will be planting trees near the Camden County MUA Water Treatment facility in Camden on April 30.

New Jersey Tree Foundation is a statewide nonprofit that aims to improve the environment and quality of life in underserved communities through planting trees.

To round out our Earth Month celebration, tune into AAA South Jersey’s social media channels every Monday to see how you can go green with your AAA membership.
