October 1st to October 31, 2025. Each Entrant (defined herein)
will be assigned a specific Challenge Period (defined herein) to complete the

SECTION 2: ELIGIBILITY
The Challenge is only open to elementary schools in Canada that have been
registered by Earth Rangers for the Battery Blitz School Mission program and

agents of the Sponsor or Earth Rangers, their respective parents, partners,
related and affiliated companies, advertising and promotional agencies and the
members of the households of such employees, representatives and agents.
SECTION 3: HOW TO PARTICIPATE
Each Entrant will start with 20 full-size battery collection boxes, provided by the
Sponsor. Collection boxes will be shipped to the Entrant. Each Entrant will then
have a four-week period, commencing on October 1st to
October 31, 2025 to collect used batteries (“Challenge Period”) using the
battery collection boxes. Each Entrant may contact the Sponsor for additional
battery collection boxes at breid@call2recycle.ca. Only batteries collected during
each Entrant’s Challenge Period will be eligible for the Challenge.
Each Entrant is responsible for ensuring that all students and staff understand
and appreciate the safety concerns and related hazards associated with the
handling of batteries and shall ensure that all collected batteries are handled
with care and according to all applicable standards and guidelines. All Entrants
are encouraged to contact the Sponsor at breid@call2recycle.ca should they have
any related questions or concerns about handling of batteries.
At the conclusion of their Challenge Period, each Entrant must call Loomis at
1 855 452-1044 EXT 6368 to arrange for pickup of all used Sponsor-provided battery
collection boxes. If an Entrant has not called Loomis within 28 days of their
Challenge Period to arrange for pickup, the Entrant may be disqualified from the
Challenge, at the absolute and sole discretion of the Sponsor.
The used Sponsor-provided battery collection boxes will be weighed by
Loomis and the results will be sent to the Sponsor. The Entrants that collect
the heaviest weight of batteries (determined by the combined weight of all of
the used Sponsor-provided battery collection boxes picked up from each
Entrant, rounded to the nearest pound), will be awarded the Grand Prize,
Second Place Prize, and Third Place Prize respectively (each a “Prize” and
collectively, the “Prizes”). In the event of a tie (a tie is defined as any two or
more Entrants who collect the same weight of batteries, rounded to the nearest
pound), a random draw will take place amongst the tied Entrants to determine
who will be awarded a Prize.
If an Earth Rangers Show is cancelled and cannot be rescheduled to
accommodate the Challenge timeframe (such timeframe to be determined at
the sole discretion of the Sponsor), the Entrant will no longer be eligible to win
the Prize.
