Why It matters

Buy, Charge, & Recycle Smart

Phones, tablets, carts, classroom laptops, e-bike chargers—today’s classrooms run on rechargeable batteries. When devices are charged the wrong way or damaged, they can overheat. The goal isn’t fear; it’s good habits: choose quality gear, charge on safe surfaces, and recycle the right way.

Three keys messages:

Buy Smart

  • Use district-approved, listed devices/chargers (look for a recognized testing mark).
  • Avoid “look-alike” cords and multi-adapters that weren’t made for the device.

Charge Smart

  • Charge on hard, flat, uncovered surfaces—not on beds, pillows, sofas, or carpet.
  • Keep cords tidy and low, away from aisles and doorways.
  • One listed power strip per outlet; no daisy-chains.
  • Set a charging curfew; unplug when full.

Recycle Smart

  • Don’t put batteries in trash or single-stream recycling.
  • Tape terminals on loose cells, bag them, and use a local drop-off/HHW site.
