A MILESTONE YEAR FOR BATTERY RECYCLING

In 2023, Call2Recycle achieved a new collection milestone by diverting nearly 6 million kilograms of batteries from landfills, pushing Call2Recycle’s total program collections to over 45 million kilograms since its inception. This surge reflects both the growing popularity of batteries and Canadians’ increased commitment to recycling. 

To support this increasing volume of batteries collected, Call2Recycle strategically expanded its program infrastructure, implementing cost-effective program management across its operations. The organization added over 2,000 new battery collection sites across Canada, deployed innovative battery pickup services in new regions, and welcomed over 20 new battery transporters, sorters, and processors into its network, achieving a 33% increase in sorting and processing capacity. These efforts not only improved the program’s efficiency but also the program’s environmental footprint.
