Charlottetown named Leader in Sustainability for second year

For the second year in a row, the City of Charlottetown has been recognized nationally for its commitment to responsible battery recycling, earning a 2025 Leaders in Sustainability Award from Call2Recycle Canada. The annual awards celebrate organizations that demonstrate exceptional environmental stewardship through the responsible collection and management of end-of-life batteries. In 2025, Charlottetown collected more than 90 pounds of household batteries through Call2Recycle’s Recycle Your Batteries, Canada! program. Ongoing initiatives include the City’s annual battery recycling drive during Waste Reduction Week, as well as the year-round public battery recycling station at City Hall. Residents can continue to drop off their single-use and rechargeable household batteries at the public battery recycling station at the front entrance of City Hall, located at 199 Queen Street. This work supports the City’s strategic focus on sustainability.
