VOORHEES, N.J. – This April, AAA South Jersey invites you to celebrate Earth Month with us. In partnership with One Tree Planted, AAA South Jersey will donate one tree for every vehicle battery we recycle in April.
In 2024, AAA South Jersey planted 563 trees across the United States in areas needing reforestation.
AAA is Driving Change through our vehicle battery recycling program. Since its inception 26 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.
