The Battery Network

The Battery Network (formerly Call2Recycle, Inc.) describes itself as having spent 30 years as North America's most trusted battery recycling program and as having evolved from a collection program into a nationwide system powering the circular energy economy. It connects consumers, businesses, manufacturers, and municipalities through one trusted network, providing education, collection, logistics, and compliance expertise. Its history page states it was founded in 1994 as RBRC by 5 concerned battery manufacturers with its first headquarters in New Jersey; collections began in 1996 with rechargeable Ni-Cd batteries; RBRC Canada was established in 1997; and the RBRC headquarters moved to Atlanta, GA in 2001. The Call2Recycle name was introduced in 2004.
