Habitat for Humanity Saskatchewan Partners with Call2Recycle to Power a Greener Future

,

In an exciting new initiative, Habitat for Humanity Saskatchewan is proud to announce our partnership with Call2Recycle, a leading organization committed to promoting battery recycling across Canada. This collaboration brings a sustainable twist to our 3 ReStore locations in Saskatchewan, as we introduce battery disposal bins for the benefit of both the community and the environment.

A Green Vision for Saskatchewan

Habitat for Humanity Saskatchewan has always been dedicated to making positive impacts on communities, and our latest initiative is no different. The 3 ReStore locations in Saskatchewan are now equipped with battery disposal bins, offering an environmentally conscious solution to encourage responsible battery recycling. What’s more, this service is provided to our customers entirely free of charge.

How it works: 

Drop Off Your Batteries: You can drop off your used household batteries, whether they’re single-use or rechargeable, at any of our three ReStore locations in Saskatchewan. These bins can contain batteries weighing up to 5 kg each.

Eco-Friendly Journey: Once collected, Call2Recycle takes over, arranging the safe transport of batteries to their sorting partners. These partners meticulously organize the batteries by chemistry, ensuring they’re handled with care.

Sustainable Transformation: Processing partners step in to extract reusable battery components. These components are then repurposed as inputs in the manufacturing of new, eco-friendly products.

By adopting these practices, you contribute to a greener future and help protect our environment from the harmful effects of battery disposal. To learn more about this program, please visit their website at www.call2recycle.ca

Join the Movement

Habitat for Humanity Saskatchewan and Call2Recycle are calling upon our community to embrace this eco-friendly opportunity. Together, we can make a significant impact by responsibly recycling our batteries and reducing their environmental footprint.

Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting partnership as we continue to work towards a more sustainable Saskatchewan. Together, we can build a brighter and greener future.

 

Habitat Saskatchewan ReStores – What are they all about?

Do you want to make an impact?

Our Habitat ReStores help keep tons of perfectly good items from landfill. In fact, Habitat for Humanity ReStores across Canada helped divert an estimated 43,000 tons of product from landfills every year. That’s the equivalent in weight of 7,800 elephants!

Habitat for Humanity ReStores accepts donations of high-quality new or gently used items that are sold to treasure hunters, skilled tradespeople and DIY’ers, helping raise money to support our vision of a world where everyone has a safe and decent place to live. That’s right! You get to help people in our communities while making sure we send less to our landfills. Overall, it is a win-win situation!

What can you find at our ReStores?

All kinds of things, including high-quality, gently used, used goods or new furniture, lighting, doors, windows, hardware, antiques, and more. Even better, because new donations are always coming in, there’s always new stuff to find. What you can find in one of our three ReStores is donated by our amazing corporate partners or by generous individuals like you, who might be downsizing or renovating, or simply just want to get rid of something you no longer like.

If you are renovating, our ReStores are a great place to pick up building materials, accessories, or paint. When you visit one of our stores before the renovation gets underway, one of our friendly and knowledgeable staff will be there to help you find what you need.
