Recycle Your Batteries, Canada! (RYBC)

Ontario Students Lead the Charge in Battery Recycling

In partnership with Earth Rangers, Recycle Your Batteries, Canada! is excited to announce the results of the Spring edition of the Battery Blitz contest in Ontario. This season, 89 schools took on the challenge and students collected over 11,000 kg of batteries, proving that small actions can make a big difference.

DROP OFF: The final step of safe battery recycling

It’s important not to store used batteries in your home for too long, where they can become corroded. Whether you use a lot of batteries or just a few, we recommend dropping them off at least every three months to prevent corrosion and battery leakage.
