Express donations are changing

To make things easier and more convenient for fundraising groups and individuals looking to donate their deposit refund, all donations through the Return-It Express program are now made through an individual’s personal Express account. Phone numbers that were used to print group or charity Express labels will no longer work.

Why?

Phone numbers are only linked to personal Express accounts. That means if you enter a group’s old phone number, you’ll see the name of an individual on the screen, not the organization. The group’s old phone number is most likely connected to the personal Express account of the group/charity administrator and if you use the old phone number your donation will go to that person’s personal account, not the charity or group.

To ensure your donation goes directly to the right cause, we’ve made it easier and more secure to donate directly through your personal Return-It Express account.

How to Donate Now

Open A Personal Express Account (if you don’t have one)

It’s simple. Just sign-up for a free Express account, it takes less than 5 minutes. Then choose how you want to donate: one-time donation or automatic donations after each bag drop-off.

One-Time Donation

  1. Make a one-time donation from your deposit refund balance to a charity or fundraising group of your choice—right from the app or website. Simply search for the organization you want to donate to and choose it to receive your current deposit refund balance in your Express account. No phone numbers or labels needed.

    NOTE

    When making a one-time donation, it will be for your full account balance, partial redemptions/donations are no longer available. Donations cannot be reversed.

Automatic Donations

    Set it and forget it! At any time in your Express account, you can set a group or charity to receive all your future deposit refunds automatically.

    You can change to another group or charity at any time by updating your donation preferences in the app or choose to keep the deposit refunds for yourself.

    NOTE

    Donations cannot be reversed.
