How the Program Works

Past participants must re-register for 2012/2013.

As part of an effort to recycle beverage containers, Encorp Pacific (Canada) would like to invite your school to participate in our School Recycling Program.

Since many students bring a number of beverage containers to school everyday, Encorp has developed a program to encourage the recycling of these containers. Refunded money can be used for school fundraising opportunities. Based on our pilot program in the Burnaby School District, we have determined that an average elementary school can raise approximately $50 - $100 a month. This program does not cost you anything, and your school will receive a full deposit refund on all of the Encorp containers you collect.
