SEATTLE (Recycling Monster): Call2Recycle, Canada’s leading battery collection and recycling organization, has launched its Recycle Your Batteries, Canada! program in New Brunswick this January, offering households and businesses safe and convenient ways to recycle used batteries.
“Launching in New Brunswick is an exciting milestone in our mission to protect the environment and advance responsible battery management across Canada,” said Joe Zenobio, President & CEO of Call2Recycle. The program supports producers in meeting obligations while making recycling accessible to all residents.
The initiative expands Call2Recycle’s province-wide network of collection points, including retail stores, municipal depots, public institutions, and community facilities, covering cities such as Saint John, Fredericton, Moncton, Bathurst, Campbellton, Edmundston, Miramichi, and the Acadian Peninsula. Public education campaigns will promote safe and responsible battery disposal.
Tim LeBlanc, CEO of Recycle NB, highlighted that the program builds on the voluntary network, improving landfill diversion rates. Environment Minister Gilles LePage added it aligns with New Brunswick’s Strategic Action Plan for Solid Waste Management, strengthening sustainable practices.
Call2Recycle’s New Brunswick program reinforces a cleaner, safer, and environmentally responsible approach to battery recycling.
