For the second year in a row, the City of Charlottetown has been recognized nationally for its commitment to responsible battery recycling, earning a 2025 Leaders in Sustainability Award from Call2Recycle Canada.
The annual awards celebrate organizations that demonstrate exceptional environmental stewardship through the responsible collection and management of end-of-life batteries. Charlottetown was selected for its continued efforts to expand public access to battery recycling and encourage community participation. This work supports the City’s strategic focus on sustainability.
In 2025, the City collected more than 90 pounds of household batteries through Call2Recycle’s
Recycle Your Batteries, Canada! program. Ongoing initiatives include the City’s annual battery recycling drive during Waste Reduction Week, as well as the year-round public battery recycling station at City Hall.
“This recognition is a testament to the dedication of Charlottetown’s residents,” said Mayor Philip Brown. “Their participation in our battery recycling initiatives support the City’s long-term commitment to environmental sustainability and strengthens the programs that protect our community now and into the future.”
Residents can continue to drop off their single-use and rechargeable household batteries at the public battery recycling station at the front entrance of City Hall, located at 199 Queen St. To see what types of batteries are accepted, and how to collect and dispose of them safely, visit
