The COVID-19 pandemic has led some deposit states (U.S.) and provinces (Canada) to temporarily halt enforcement actions on retailers who suspend bottle & can redemption activities for the duration of the outbreak.

Please save bottles & cans for recycling! If you live in one of these states or provinces, please rinse your bottles and cans so they don’t smell while you save them for later redemption.
