The program was developed in compliance with the District’s Battery Stewardship Law and regulations.

D.C.-based organizations and businesses– including retailers, institutions, and government agencies — looking to amplify their commitment to the environment and community are encouraged to.

In 2022, Call2Recycle facilitated the recycling of nearly 8 million pounds of batteries in the United States, including more than 3 million pounds of lithium-ion batteries, the highest number collected in the program’s history.
