Below is a searchable database of acceptable ready-to-drink beverages that can be returned at any Encorp Bottle and Return-It Depot for full deposit refund. This list is updated regularly.

The complete lists may also be downloaded in PDF format here:

All ready-to-drink beverage containers are included in Encorp's Return-It bag system. This also includes wines, spirits and non-refillable beer and coolers (sold in glass containers). As of February 1st, 2022, milk and plant-based beverages are part of the deposit system.

Alcohol beverage containers registered with Encorp Pacific's Return-It system are guaranteed to receive a full deposit refund at all locations.

Refillable beer bottles and some aluminum alcohol containers are not managed by Encorp Pacific. They are the responsibility of BC Brewers Recycled Container Council (BRCCC) and are covered under BRCCC’s Stewardship Plan. Return-It sites that are not licensed by BRCCC may still accept these containers, but you may only receive a partial deposit refund. Please check with each Return-It site to understand what BRCCC materials and products are accepted there and the refund you can expect to receive.

ATTENTION Manufacturer/Distributor/Retailer: While a beverage container you are selling may already be registered with Encorp by another company, if you are importing a beverage container into BC for resale, it must be registered and linked to your organization. For more information, please read this article, or contact brandregistry@returnit.ca.
