By expanding access to battery recycling at 14 locations, we are making it easier for Albertans to do the right thing with their used batteries."
For Goodwill Industries of Alberta, the partnership aligns closely with its mission to divert waste from landfills and create a more sustainable future.
"At Goodwill, sustainability is at the core of what we do," said Mortimer Capriles, Director of Sustainability at Goodwill Industries of Alberta. "By introducing smart battery recycling containers across our locations, we're providing our communities with another meaningful way to reduce environmental impact. We're proud to work with Call2Recycle to make responsible recycling more accessible for everyone."
