To date in 2015, some 2600 tonnes of batteries have been collected for recycling in the USA and Canada via the network of consumer battery stewardship organisation Call2Recycle. This year-on-year increase of 6% represents a 'significant environmental victory' and means battery collections 'are on target to grow for the 19th consecutive year', it states.
With approximately 90% of both US and Canadian residents living within 15 kilometres of one of Call2Recycle’s 34 000-plus public drop-off locations, battery recycling has become 'increasingly simple and convenient', the organisation claims.
