Toronto — Call2Recycle, a Canadian battery collection and recycling program, announced today the kick-off of their promotional campaign, “Defend Your Home Turf”, through a partnership with four CFL teams: the BC Lions, Winnipeg Blue Bombers, Hamilton Tiger-Cats and the Montreal Alouettes.
Football fans in four provinces will learn about the importance of battery recycling and have a chance to win tickets to see their favourite CFL team play.
The first 10,000 fans at four regular season home games and one playoff game will receive a special team-branded personal battery collection cube to take home.
Featured regular season games include:
- Toronto Argonauts at Hamilton Tiger-Cats, September 4, 2023
- Toronto Argonauts at Montreal Alouettes, September 15, 2023
- Ottawa Redblacks at BC Lions, September 16, 2023
- Toronto Argonauts at Winnipeg Blue Bombers, September 29, 2023
“We are excited to partner with these four amazing CFL teams to combine the excitement of the football season with Call2Recycle’s goal of encouraging Canadians to collect as many batteries as possible,” said Joe Zenobio, President, Call2Recycle Canada. “We hope to encourage Canadian football fans to continue adopting positive battery recycling habits. It’s a simple and effective way to play a positive role in protecting our environment and diverting batteries from landfills.”
During the campaign, players from participating CFL teams will share messages about battery safety, environmental protection and the circular economy on their team’s social media channels.
This campaign is part of Call2Recycle’s ongoing effort to educate the public about the importance of battery recycling and promote positive battery recycling habits.
