KAMLOOPS — The non-profit organization responsible for drink container recycling in B-C says deposit rates for most non-alcohol containers are doubling next month.
Return-It says the deposit charged for containers up to one litre will increase from five cents to 10 cents as of November 1st.
Consumers get the deposit back when they recycle soft drink, juice, water, energy and sport drink containers at Return-It depots and retail locations province-wide.
Return-it says the aim is to encourage British Columbians to recycle more drink containers — keeping them out of landfills and oceans.
