Starting Oct. 1, beverage containers one-litre and greater will change from $0.20 deposits to $0.10 deposits at the Bottle Depot in Kitimat and other recycling depots around B.C.
A transition period will be in place from Oct. 1 to Oct. 11, where containers of acceptable sizes will still be refunded $0.20 when the beverage containers are returned, with a $0.10 deposit for beverage containers purchased.
As of Oct. 12, though, the $0.10 deposit and refund will be unified for all beverage containers, to “simplify the overall system and make it even easier for you to recycle all your beverage containers,” the Return-It website said.
Visit the Return-It website for more information on this change.
