Battery Incentive Program

This program has been established by Stewardship Ontario to effectively and efficiently increase the diversion of obligated batteries in the province to achieve the diversion target of 20 per cent of the single-use batteries generated in Ontario annually.

Support Materials for Transporters & Collection Sites

As with Stewardship Ontario’s other incentive programs for service providers, Transporters are responsible for negotiating their own contracts or agreements with collection sites independently. As part of the Battery Incentive Program, Transporters are also required to ensure that collection sites adhere to the Collection Scope and Collection Standards.

This responsibility includes the creation and provision of collection containers which are branded under the Orange Drop Program.

To assist you with this Stewardship Ontario has created branded artwork for battery collection containers.

Please download and read these instructions before proceeding with downloading the graphic files.

The files are available here in PDF format for viewing and eps files for printing by design/print suppliers.

If you have any questions, or require an alternate format or lay-out, please contact us at beyondtheboxatstewardshipontario [dot] ca.

Additional consumer-friendly materials such as posters and brochures will be developed shortly to help boost collection efforts. We will notify all Battery Transporters via e-mail when these materials are ready for download from this site.
