Call2Recycle is a free collection programme for mobile phones and rechargeable batteries, active since 1994. It operates through a network of 30 000 drop-off locations, such as hospitals, universities, retailers, public institutions and communities, in Canada and the United States. All collected materials are recycled completely, in facilities in North America. Mobile phones are refurbished and resold, when possible. The programme is funded by license fees paid by battery manufacturing industries for placing the programme’s battery recycling seal on their products. Certified by the Basel Action Network as an e-Steward for not dumping toxic waste to landfills, incinerators, prisons or developing countries.
