Call2Recycle expands battery recycling accessibility in Alberta

Call2Recycle recently launched its Recycle Your Batteries, Canada! program in Alberta. This initiative, operated under the Alberta Recycling Management Authority (ARMA) oversight, marks a significant step in expanding battery recycling across the province.

ARMA approved Call2Recycle as a producer responsibility organization, a business established to support producers in meeting their regulatory obligations under the Extended Producer Responsibility regulation. This initiative ensures Albertans have a convenient, safe, and environmentally responsible solution for disposing of used household batteries.

Call2Recycle pushes the momentum of Canada's circular economy 

With the launch of the Recycle Your Batteries, Canada! program, Alberta residents can now access a province-wide network of over 1,100 convenient collection locations, including retail stores, municipal facilities, public institutions, and community centers. This expansion not only simplifies battery recycling but also supports Call2Recycle's ongoing efforts to protect the environment and contribute to Canada's circular economy.

In 2024 alone, Call2Recycle collected over 6.8 million kilograms of batteries nationwide — an achievement that underscores its commitment to environmental sustainability.

As an established battery recycler, Call2Recycle brings 28 years of experience and a robust network of nearly 15,000 collection sites across Canada. Albertans are encouraged to participate in the program and contribute to a greener future by recycling their used batteries at designated collection sites. 

"Expanding into Alberta is an exciting milestone for Call2Recycle as we continue our mission to enhance environmental protection and promote sustainable recycling solutions across Canada," said Joe Zenobio, president and CEO of Call2Recycle. "We are proud to work on behalf of our members on this new program that makes battery recycling easier and more accessible for Albertans while reducing battery waste's environmental impact and fostering a cleaner, more sustainable future."
