We’re always happy to answer your questions...

But hopefully this can clear some up?

You can return any beverage container that was purchased:
1) In Alberta, and
2) With a deposit on it.

There are a few drinks that are imported and thus can’t be returned.

But there are over 150,000 container types we CAN give you money for!

Bring yours in today.

Recycling in Alberta is different – and better!

If you’re from out of province, you might not be used to getting cash when you return drink containers. But here in Alberta, it’s quick, easy, and automated at depots like Univer!

How it works:
1️⃣ Pay a deposit when you buy your drink
2️⃣ Return the empty container to any bottle depot
3️⃣ Get your deposit back – no sorting required!

With our high-tech counting system, you’ll be in and out in minutes and with cash for your vacation fund.

What do you do when your bottle drive haul is WAY bigger than expected?
You call Univer Bottle Depot 😉

Recently, a baseball team from just outside Edmonton ran a bottle drive fundraiser. The community SHOWED UP… and within a couple hours they had collected way more bottles than they expected.

So they asked us for a hand.

We were happy to jump in, bring our trailer over to help transport everything, and process the haul.

In the end, they managed to raise over $3,000 in just a couple hours! (That's a new record at Univer 👀)

Bottle drives can be a lot of work, but they don’t have to be stressful.

If you ever find yourself in a pinch (or just want to make the process easier), we’re always happy to help.

And a big shoutout to everyone in the community who donated bottles to support the team! Caring neighbours make fundraisers like this possible. ⚾♻️

Local organizations like yours are turning empty bottles into meaningful fundraising.

One example is , who uses recurring bottle drives and a customer donation account with Univer to fund their rescue work.

Supporters can donate bottles during bottle drives or drop them off anytime at Univer and tell us to put the refund in their depot account.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing moms in our community. 🌷

Running a local business means we get to see the everyday ways people show up for each other, and moms are often right at the heart of it.

🩷 We see the sports moms organizing bottle drives to help their kids’ teams.
🧡 The moms dropping off bags of bottles after a busy week.
💜 The grandmas helping their families recycle and teaching the next generation to take care of the planet.

These small moments might seem ordinary, but they’re part of what makes our community strong.

Today we just want to say thank you to all the Edmonton moms who work hard, care deeply, and support the people around them every single day.

We appreciate you!

We’ve been keeping a secret...

Ok its not a secret, but it is something that’s easily misunderstood!

Your refund is actually just money that you’ve already paid when you purchased your drinks.

So unfortunately those delicious drinks from T&T may not get you a refund.

But we’ll absolutely help you figure out which ones can be returned and which should just go into your blue bin.

Feel free to ask our staff any questions you have!

This year reminded us how lucky we are to serve a community that cares.

Thank you for trusting us with your returns.

Cheers to another year of recycling with purpose. ♻️
