Over 5,000 retailers, businesses and municipalities across Canada have been collecting and recycling rechargeable batteries and cell phones through the Call2Recycle® program. In July, the program was expanded to accept all household batteries for recycling in British Columbia and Ontario.
Consumers who have only a few batteries and/or cell phones to recycle, please drop them off at any of the Call2Recycle collection sites. There is no charge to recycle.
