Recycle the Easy Way!
Do you have a bunch of containers sitting in your garage but you keep procrastinating about taking them back? Now you can recycle them easily and the refund money goes to the PAC to support our children’s education.
Where Do you Take Your Empties?
How it works:
- Put your containers in clear plastic bags, no sorting needed!
- Go to an Express depot, use the school’s phone number (250-870-5136) to log in at the kiosk and print your stickers, one per bag.
- Put the stickers on your bags and leave them in the bag drop area.
- They’ll sort your containers and credit the PAC Express account with your refund within 5 business days.
What can you take back?
Any beverage container which a deposit was paid in BC is eligible for the Express program. US purchased containers, out of province containers as well as containers without labels, identification or the ability to recognize are not eligible for a refund.
