RECYCLING

Vancouver Battery Corp. is very active in recycling and providing information on recycling batteries to consumers.

Rechargeable Batteries

Vancouver Battery Corp. recycles all rechargeable batteries free of charge. This includes:

Sealed Lead Acid batteries
Cordless Phone batteries
Laptop / Notebook batteries
Cell Phone batteries
Car batteries
Digital Camera batteries
UPS batteries
Nimh batteries
Nicd batteries
Camcorder batteries

We use Interstate Batteries for our sealed lead acid batteries and Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation www.rbrc.org for all other rechargeable batteries.

Non-Rechargeable Batteries

Non-rechargeable batteries include:

Alkaline batteries
Heavy Duty batteries
Button Cell batteries
Hearing Aid batteries
Watch batteries
Calculator batteries
Lantern batteries
Car Alarm batteries

Since July of this year the BC government and the Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation (RBRC) have implemented a system that now includes non alkaline batteries. There is no charge for this which has been a big barrier for recycling of non rechargeable batteries in the past.

Details on this recycling plan for BC can be found at:www.call2recycle.ca

Now you can bring your batteries to Vancouver Battery Corp and we can send them off to be recycled. As a note please bring them during our hours of business which is Mon-Fri: 10-6:30pm and Sat 10-5pm. It can get a little messy looking when bags are left outside of our retail store.

Thanks for keeping green. Please don’t hesitate to contact us with any questions.
