An Ontario Batteries Regulation term for a site where used consumer batteries are collected for resource recovery.
Battery collection site is a collection location for batteries collected for the purpose of resource recovery, not the recovery event. It marks where custody starts to move into the stewardship chain, not proof that batteries have been processed or recycled.
This is an Ontario source-specific collection-site term. Keep it separate from UK collection or treatment terminology, generic waste-management facilities, and downstream processor/refurbisher roles unless a source-by-source comparison is being made.
O. Reg. 30/20: Batteries

Ontario source-specific battery EPR definition under O. Reg. 30/20; do not collapse into EU, UK, India, Brazil, or Australia definitions without review.

Reviewed public draft page. Aligns with battery stewardship operations policy: separates scope gates, approvals, collection, transport, processing, registration, refurbishment, and management-obligation evidence.
Implementation records should capture site identifier, collection event, accepted battery type, handover record, site address, operator, collection date, quantity/weight, hauler link, destination processor, and incident or rejection note.
Battery collection site is the collection-point control for Ontario battery evidence. It should connect site identity, accepted categories, collected quantities, hauler handoff, and destination processor so collection is traceable beyond a drop-off location.
