Call2Recycle® Challenges
North Americans to Recycle 1 Million Pounds of Batteries
July – October 1, 2010

Cell phones, laptops, mp3 players, cordless power tools and digital cameras all use rechargeable batteries, which can and should be recycled.

Call2Recycle, North America’s only free rechargeable battery and cell phone collection program, launched MyCall2Recycle, an awareness campaign designed to educate consumers and businesses on the importance and ease of battery recycling.

During the campaign, consumers are asked to scour their homes and rid their attics, junk drawers and storage spaces of all used rechargeable batteries and cell phones and bring them to any of Call2Recycle’s 30,000 public drop-off locations to help the organization achieve its goal of collecting one million pounds of rechargeable batteries between now and Oct. 1.

Since 1994, Call2Recycle has recycled millions of pounds of rechargeable batteries through a network of 30,000 drop-off locations in the US and Canada.
