Call2Recycle Announces High Energy Battery Recycling Program
Call2Recycle, the nation’s largest consumer battery stewardship and collection program—in conjunction with the Outdoor Power Equipment Institute (OPEI) and the Power Tool Institute and alongside participating manufacturers—has announced a new battery collection program to facilitate the safe collection and responsible recycling of high energy batteries that power outdoor equipment. To provide the best service in support of a circular economy, Call2Recycle has partnered with Chervon, Husqvarna, Makita, Stanley Black & Decker, Stihl, Techtronic Industries, and Toro.
“Thanks to the participation of our industry partners, we’re making it easier than ever for consumers to recycle their high energy batteries with the launch of our new program,” says Call2Recycle CEO Leo Raudys. “Together, with brands consumers know and love, we’ve created a process to conveniently and seamlessly collect, assess, ship, and process these recyclable batteries that are increasingly common in everyday products. Call2Recycle applauds the collaboration and commitment of our partners, whose dedication to safety and environmental stewardship is paving the way for a circular future.”
Under the new program, eligible and enrolled retailers will have access to safety training and recycling materials. Consumers will be able to return end-of-life high energy batteries to participating collection sites, where they will be assessed, shipped, and processed for proper recycling.
