VOORHEES, N.J. (May 15, 2025) -- To celebrate Earth Month, AAA South Jersey planted 535 trees in conjunction with One Tree Planted. The club committed to planting one tree for every vehicle battery we recycled in the month of April.
Over the last two years, AAA South Jersey has planted more than 1,100 trees in areas of North America in need of reforestation.
One Tree Planted has planted over 135 million trees in 82 countries across the globe in its 10-year history.
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.
