Get in touch with your family, friends, and neighbours nearby to coordinate a safe doorstep dropoff for used batteries. Just ask them to collect their used batteries in a zip-sealed bag and drop it off at your place so you can take care of the run to your nearest recycling drop-off spot when it\u2019s safe to do so.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you live in a building with direct access to the outdoors, all you\u2019ll need is a weatherproof, non-metal container to label and leave outside your home. If you\u2019re in an apartment building, you may have to coordinate with your contributors a little more carefully for contactless dropoffs, but we promise it will be worth it! By making an awesome effort to collect batteries to recycle, you\u2019re also helping keep potentially hazardous waste out of natural spaces \u2013 animals in your area will be so thankful!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Here are some ways to level-up your doorstep dropoff!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Decorate your bin and add a fun sign so people walking by know they can add to your effort<\/li><li>Put up signs around your neighbourhood (yard sale style) to let your \u2018hood know&nbsp;they can drop off their batteries too!<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"256\" src=\"\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/Shirt.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-583246\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/Shirt.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/uploads\/Shirt-300x128.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-themepunch-revslider revslider\" data-modal=\"false\" data-slidertitle=\"Daily Activity Get App Footer\">\n\t\t\t<!-- START Daily Activity Get App Footer REVOLUTION SLIDER 6.7.41 --><p class=\"rs-p-wp-fix\"><\/p>\n\t\t\t<rs-module-wrap id=\"rev_slider_146_1_wrapper\" data-source=\"gallery\" style=\"visibility:hidden;background:transparent;padding:0;margin:0px auto;margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;\">\n\t\t\t\t<rs-module id=\"rev_slider_146_1\" style=\"\" data-version=\"6.7.41\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<rs-slides style=\"overflow: hidden; position: absolute;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<rs-slide style=\"position: absolute;\" data-key=\"rs-294\" data-title=\"Kid1\" data-in=\"o:1;\" data-out=\"o:1;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/plugins\/revslider\/sr6\/assets\/assets\/dummy.png\" alt=\"Kid1\" title=\"Eco-Activity: Doorstep Dropoff\" class=\"rev-slidebg tp-rs-img rs-lazyload\" data-lazyload=\"\/\/www.earthrangers.com\/EN\/CA\/wp-content\/plugins\/revslider\/sr6\/assets\/assets\/transparent.png\" data-bg=\"c:#0c8dc9;\" data-no-retina>\n<!--\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t--><rs-layer\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tid=\"slider-146-slide-294-layer-0\" \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-type=\"text\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-rsp_ch=\"on\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-xy=\"xo:364px,273px,219px,17px;y:m;yo:-26px,-22px,-28px,102px;\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-text=\"w:normal;s:16,16,17,15;l:19,17,19,17;fw:300;\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-dim=\"w:750px,619px,550px,450px;\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-frame_0=\"x:0,0,0px,0px;y:-50,-41,-36px,-22px;\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-frame_1=\"x:0,0,0px,0px;y:0,0,0px,0px;st:310;sp:1000;sR:310;\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-frame_999=\"o:0;st:w;sR:7690;\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tstyle=\"z-index:9;font-family:'Roboto';\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t>The Earth Rangers App is where kids go to save animals!
