OneDrum

Simple, Safe Mixed Battery Collection

The award-winning OneDrum™ is changing the way large volumes of consumer batteries are collected and recycled. It’s a safe, all-in-one solution that lets you place mixed primary (single-use) and rechargeable batteries into one container without sorting by chemistry, individually bagging or taping any battery terminals. That means less prep time, less hassle, and more battery collection and recycling happening where it matters.

Why collection sites choose OneDrum

OneDrum™ makes safe battery recycling easier and more efficient for municipal programs, recycling centers, and other large volume collectors.

Save time and effort

  • No more sorting different battery chemistries.
  • No more individually bagging or taping terminals.
  • Sites report up to 80% less time spent preparing batteries.

Improve safety and reduce risk

The drum uses a proven fire-suppression and containment system that lowers the chance of thermal events during storage and transport.

Free up space

By collecting all batteries together in one container, sites can cut down on multiple storage bins and reclaim valuable facility space.

See what customers are saying about OneDrum

A fair amount of time at King County HHW facility is spent sorting and securing batteries, which is a tedious process. Due to the small size of Lithium Ion batteries, this effort has become quite time consuming. The ease of the OneDrum product and battery recycling process is turnkey—and the customer service at Call2Recycle is responsive, knowledgeable and attentive. One of the biggest advantages with OneDrum is the staff time we've been able to recover and allocate to other areas of waste collection. As a result, we now have happier staff and more time to spread across our service lines.

Julie MitchellHazardous Waste Programs Project Manager, King County

Overflowing gaylords of batteries, cellphones and laptops—this was a frequent scene at our facility. There seemed to be no easy way to recycle or dispose of batteries. Then we found OneDrum! Having the ability to regularly and safely offload batteries provided an instant solution to our labor and storage challenges. And the process couldn’t be easier. With OneDrum, we have optimized our battery disposal system by leaps and bounds. In turn, we have improved overall logistics, which in Waste Management is a key benefit.

Nolan HughesHead of Purchasing, Marborg Recovery

Batteries, batteries as far as the eye can see! As a small facility with limited space and staff, this is often how we felt when it came to our battery recycling program. Having worked with Call2Recycle for management of our Damaged, Defective and Recalled batteries, we knew their industry experience and ability to provide safe and valuable offerings. Once we learned about OneDrum, we quickly adopted the streamlined solution and realized immediate efficiency gains.
