Wyoming, ON – Recycle your household batteries @ your library.  Lambton County Library branches are now FREE collection sites for the Call2Recycle^® Program.  All household batteries up to 5 kg, including alkalines, carbon zinc and button cells, will be collected. Used cell phones, with or without a battery, can also be recycled.

"Lambton County's 26 branch libraries are already part of your neighbourhood," says Carol Gardiner, Branch Services Manager.  "Having accessible collection sites encourages greater participation in this recycling program and less waste in our landfills."

Since 1997, Call2Recycle^® has been collecting used rechargeable batteries from Ontarians through collection sides.  As of July 1st, Call2Recycle^® is Stewardship Ontario’s official service provider for collecting and recycling all household batteries up to 5 kg.

Lambton County’s 26 libraries provide a variety of FREE services to the public including programming and Internet access.  For more information about Lambton County Library, visit www.lclmg.org.
