Aluminum Alcohol Containers and Refillable Beer Bottles: Refund Rate Varies
Alcohol beverage containers registered with Encorp Pacific's Return-It system are guaranteed to receive a full deposit refund at all locations. To understand which beverage containers are managed by Encorp Pacific, please see our Registered Brands Database.
Refillable beer bottles and some aluminum alcohol containers are not managed by Encorp Pacific and are the responsibility of BC Brewers Recycled Container Council (BRCCC) and are covered under BRCCC’s Stewardship Plan.
Return-It sites that are not licensed by BRCCC may still accept these containers, but you may only receive a partial deposit refund. Please check with each Return-It site to understand what BRCCC materials and products are accepted there and the refund you can expect to receive.
If you have any questions about these products, please contact BRCCC directly at stewardship@bdl.ca or call 1-800-661-2337
