We collect used batteries with Šmudlo 2022

We collect used batteries with Šmudlo is an eco-educational project for kindergarten children and primary school first graders. The children are visited by the messy Šmudlo who needs help to clear the forest of rubbish. In a fun and playful way, the children will learn why it is important to sort waste, which type of waste belongs where and where they can take used toy batteries.

For kindergartens and primary schools from these cities, we provide the project free of charge:

• Bratislava region (except for the Záhorie region)
• Trnava region
• the city of Nitra and municipalities in the vicinity
• the towns of Prievidza and Partizánske and villages from the surrounding area on the route between the two towns
• the town of Banská Bystrica and Zvolen
• the city of Košice and the surrounding area the city of Prešov

Project in numbers from 2017 – 2022:

• more than 450 kindergartens and primary schools involved
• more than 50 000 children collected batteries
• more than 27,000 children have been educated with Šmudlo
• more than 1 750 lessons have been taught
• in total, children collected more than 88 tonnes of used batteries

The project is implemented in cooperation with Daphne – Institute of Applied Ecology, whose kind and clever lecturers provide eco-education for children.
