Welcome to Bottle Depot
Of course, knowing how we classify your containers is an advantage to you.
Complete Sort List
By taking a few minutes to sort and count your containers in to the categories below (or by deposit rates) before returning them, you qualify for our express counters. Working together, we can quickly get you in and out of the bottle depot with some extra spending money in your wallet.

While sorting, please leave on all labels, remove all caps and corks, and rinse all containers to prevent spills and odours.

For convenience, all plastic and metal beverage containers can be sorted into clear and coloured plastic
bags. We recommend that you return all your glass beverage containers in their original case or a cardboard
box to prevent breakage and injury.
