Bottle Drives

  • We will pay you a full deposit on all of your containers. You should register your bottle drive in advance so we can prepare for your arrival. For tips on maximizing your fundraising profits, contact us.
  • We now take all ready to drink alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverage containers that are sold in BC, including drink boxes, gable top containers and glass bottles.
  • We do take milk and soya product containers, however ensure they are rinsed clean and kept seperate from all other containers. There is no refund paid on these containers.
  • The containers must be recognizable and with labels (no home brew containers).
  • The refunds are according to size, but you must separate all types of materials.
