One Bin Impact

One ResQ bin. 1,000 batteries. Real material recovery.

A single ResQ bin hitting a 1,000-battery annual collection target is not just a nice local win. It creates a visible recovery point, keeps used household batteries in a managed stream, and helps capture materials that still matter.

What 1,000 batteries starts to look like

Even one well-placed ResQ bin can create a steady, neighborhood-scale recovery habit. At 1,000 batteries per year, that is roughly 83 batteries per month or about 19 batteries per week moving into a managed recycling channel instead of being forgotten in drawers or tossed out with ordinary waste.

For weight, a simple AA-equivalent model puts that annual total at just over 50 pounds of batteries collected. Actual totals will vary depending on the mix of AAA, AA, C, D, and 9V batteries dropped into the bin.

Why recovery matters

EPA notes that used batteries can contain metals and other materials that need to be managed correctly by chemistry. Their guidance specifically recommends sending used alkaline and zinc-carbon batteries to battery recyclers where programs exist.

What’s inside alkaline batteries

Peer-reviewed research on spent alkaline and zinc-carbon batteries identifies zinc and manganese as key recoverable materials, which is exactly why collection matters even at the single-bin level.

Weight model used here

The ~51 pound estimate is based on the Energizer E91 AA alkaline datasheet, which lists a typical weight of 23.0 grams per battery. One thousand AA-size equivalents equals about 23 kilograms, or roughly 50.7 pounds.
