Put Used Batteries in their Place!

Are you ready to take the battery recycling challenge?!

October is Circular Economy Month and to celebrate, St. Laurent has partnered with Call2Recycle and Earth Rangers to teach our customers the importance of recycling batteries by hosting a Battery Blitz from October 1 - 31, 2023. 

Did you know that properly recycling your batteries can help protect animals and the environment? Batteries that go in the garbage end up in landfills adding to solid waste that can be harmful to the environment. This is why it is so important that you properly recycle your batteries year-round.

Last year Call2Recycle collected and recycled over 7 million kg of batteries. That’s about the weight of 1,400 African elephants!

The mall will have a large collection bin located at Guest Services all month. When you drop off your batteries, don't forget to scan the QR code for a chance to WIN UP TO $5,000 from Call2Recycle! Learn more: https://contest.call2recycle.ca/

Don't forget to mark your calendars, on October 16th, St. Laurent will be handing out FREE DIY Craft Kits for your battery recycling. Swing by Guest Services and grab a Battery Blitz Craft Kit. Quantities are limited to the first 100 guests (limit one per family first come first serve basis).
