Will all household batteries be required for recycling in the province of Manitoba?
On February 3, 2010, the Manitoba provincial government proposed rules which would require collecting and recycling all consumer batteries. The proposed effective date of this regulation is April 1, 2011.

Call2Recycle presented at the Manitoba Household Hazardous Waste stewardship program public consultation event in Winnipeg, MB on June 21, 2010. An All-Battery Collection and Recycling Plan for Manitoba drafted by Call2Recycle was submitted shortly after the event to the Pollution Control Branch of Manitoba Conservation.

The Manitoba provincial government proposed rules, Call2Recycle's presentation and the All-Battery Collection and Recycling Plan can be viewed and downloaded below.
