Beverage Container Recycling
There are plenty of reasons to recycle beverage containers at your local Return-It location. Not only does it put money back in your pocket, it helps us preserve our environment by reducing demand for raw materials used for packaging and decreasing the energy used to create new cans, cartons and bottles.
Two ways to recycle your containers
Over-the-Counter Returns
Over-the-counter returning is the traditional method for returning your empty beverage containers for deposit refund. When you return your beverage containers over-the-counter at a Return-It depot location, you receive your refund in cash right away.
- Bring your refundable beverage containers to any Return-It Depot location - you can transport your containers in boxes, bags, or whatever method you prefer! Beverage containers that are part of the Return-It system include soft drinks, juice, water, wine, coolers, spirits, etc.
- Use a provided cart to transport your containers to an available sorting station inside the depot
- Using provided trays, sort all of your containers by container type (i.e. one tray for aluminum cans, one tray for plastic bottles, etc)
- Bring your trays of sorted containers to the depot cashier to be counted
- Receive your deposit refunds in cash!
