Canada Launches Major Battery Recycling Program in New Brunswick to Protect Environment and Boost Sustainability

New Brunswick is taking a significant step toward a cleaner, greener future as Call2Recycle Canada launches a province‑wide battery recycling initiative aimed at households, businesses, and communities. The program is designed to make battery recycling safer, easier, and more accessible than ever, reinforcing Canada’s commitment to environmental sustainability.

Why Battery Recycling Matters

Batteries contain materials such as lithium, nickel, and cadmium that can be harmful to the environment if disposed of improperly. With the growing use of rechargeable and single-use batteries across homes and offices, Canada’s battery recycling program comes at a crucial time to prevent toxic waste from polluting landfills and waterways.

“Proper battery disposal protects our environment and public health,” said a Call2Recycle spokesperson. “With this initiative, residents and businesses in New Brunswick can recycle their batteries safely, contributing to a sustainable future.”

How the Program Works

The new program provides convenient drop-off locations across New Brunswick, including retail stores, municipal centers, and schools. Both households and businesses can participate, ensuring that all types of batteries—from AA and AAA to lithium-ion and rechargeable—are collected responsibly.

Participants are encouraged to visit the Call2Recycle website or the Chatzyr.net app to find nearby drop-off points, track recycling efforts, and learn more about sustainable practices.
