August 8, 2024
Dysart et al, ON – Environmental 360 Solutions Ltd. (E360S) placed one of its new smart outdoor battery recycling containers in Dysart et al on August 8, 2024.
The innovative battery recycling container was meticulously designed to withstand harsh weather conditions and mitigate risk, featuring advanced sensors to monitor temperature and material volumes. The first recycling bin will be located outside Rails End Gallery & Art Centre at 23 York St in Haliburton.
“The Municipality of Dysart et al is so excited to launch E360S’ Outdoor Battery Recycling Collection Container,” said John Watson, Dysart’s Environmental Manager. “Through this innovative industry partnership, Dysart ratepayers will have another convenient opportunity to recycle their household batteries.”
These new outdoor battery collection bins will provide Ontarians with expanded access to battery recycling and are the product of two years of development, and 20-plus years of experience.
“Dysart is honoured to be one of only a handful of municipalities across the province to implement this new smart-container!” added Watson. “E360S has been on the forefront of battery recycling for many years, effectively recycling household batteries into fertilizers and scrap metal. Their new outdoor battery recycling container is a game-changer for the collection of household batteries!”
“Our newly acquired team has more than 40 years of experience and helped facilitate the first curbside battery collection in North America, as well as other innovative programs that once helped Ontario achieve the highest capture rate in North America,” said Donato Ardellini, E360S Founder and CEO.

Zinc is one of the world's most commonly used metals. Approximately 30% of the zinc today comes from recycled sources. Environmental 360 Solutions is able to recover zinc from the batteries that you recycle. The zinc we recover is then reused as micronutrients in fertilizer to grow corn for biofuel.
As a result of E360S's recycled materials, farmers are able to increase their yields by over 20 bushels per acre. This is important considering our growing population and the need to make efficient use of our existing farmland.
