From Congressman Peter Roskam’s office (R, DuPage County, IL)…
I wanted to let you know about a new environmental initiative my campaign is launching today. We’re launching a household battery recycling program that will make it easier for constituents to personally be good stewards of our planet. It’s the latest in a long line of innovative energy and environmentally helpful ideas and initiatives we’ve created for the community.
The battery recycling program will be a chance for private citizens to work together in a spirit of environmental stewardship that protects basic needs like our air and water supply. By providing a place where household batteries with hazardous waste material can be properly disposed, we are doing a small part to leave our planet in better shape for our kids and our grandkids.
My campaign office, located at 333 South Cross St. in Wheaton, will be the collection site for the batteries. We’ve started it in light of the City of Wheaton’s decision to cut their highly successful battery recycling initiative, which in just eleven months recycled over eight tons of used batteries.
Thank you so much for your support and teamwork on this valuable initiative. I will continue fighting for initiatives, at home and in Washington, that allow citizens the opportunity to improve their lives, their economic stability, and the future for their kids and grandkids. Please join me in that fight by clicking here.
Sincerely,
Congressman Peter J. Roskam
