Call2Recycle Battery Blitz School Mission Contest

Did you know that properly recycling your batteries can help protect wildlife?

Batteries contain toxic materials that can harm the environment if they end up in landfill. That’s why it’s important to properly recycle your batteries!

When you collect batteries at your school, you’re keeping them out of landfills and protecting wildlife.

You’re also helping to recover valuable materials that can be re-used to make new products, like new batteries, golf clubs, and the stainless steel pots and pans! The possibilities are endless.

Participate in the Battery Blitz School Mission and do your part to recycle batteries!

During the Winter of 2025, Earth Rangers and Call2Recycle are running Battery Blitz School Mission contests.

Elementary schools will compete with other schools, for a chance to win amazing cash prizes!

Your School Mission is to recycle as many used batteries as you can by encouraging students, parents, staff, and community members to bring them into your school and place them in the Call2Recycle box.

Here’s How it Works:

  • The Battery Blitz School Mission Contest will kick off on Monday, January 20, 2025 to February 18, 2025
  • Battery collection boxes will be sent to your school, and students will be asked to bring in their used batteries
  • Single-use and rechargeable batteries weighing less than 5kg can be brought in to be recycled, including those found in:
    • Power tools
    • Video game consoles
    • Digital and video cameras
    • Watches (with the exception of wet-cell batteries)
  • For safety reasons, we ask that you please place batteries in a clear plastic bag or cover battery terminals with tape (electrical/duct/packing) before bringing them to school. Some types of batteries can spark when their terminals touch metal or other batteries. Please refer to the Call2Recycle website for more info!
  • All batteries will be collected and weighed and winning schools will be announced in April.
