Beverage container deposits are based solely on the size of the container and not the material it is made from. This means that there are two different deposit amounts: beverage containers designed to hold 1L or less equal a 10 cent deposit per container and beverage containers designed to hold over 1L equal a 25 cent deposit per container.

Depending on the type of material it’s made from, beverage containers become a range of other items. Some simply become another beverage container and others can potentially be made into clothing, carpeting, and even fiberglass insulation for your home.

All “ready-to-serve” beverage containers sold in Alberta are part of the recycling system. There are over 130,000 beverage containers registered in the province, including: plastic drink bottles and jugs, aluminum cans, polycoat containers, glass bottles and metal cans. If you are unsure if a container can be returned for a refund, check with your Depot or go to http://portal.bcmb.ab.ca/product.

As per Section (16) of the Beverage Container Recycling Regulation (BCRR), non refillable containers are to be recycled by a method approved by the Board.
