Presentation on empty recycling at the Beer Store

Transcript of Recycling your Alcohol containers

  • 1. The Beer Store (TBS) is the exclusive service provider for collection of all empty wine, beer and spirit containers. Where do I take my empties?

2. What items does TBS accept? Beer Store purchases Any container purchased at TBS and its packaging can be returned to TBS for recycling. LCBO purchases Any container purchased at the LCBO and its packaging can be returned to TBS for recycling. 3. Why should I bother? Bringing your empty containers back to the Beer Store benefits both you and the environment in many ways. 4. It may be surprising to learn that each year, 80 million alcohol bottles, cans and containers end up in Ontario landfills. The Ontario Deposit Return program helps preserve valuable greenspace by diverting these items to a recycling facility where they can be used to create new products like new glass bottles and fibreglass insulation. The program also frees up room in your Blue Box so Ontarians can maximize the amount of items recovered, recycled and put to environmentally safe use. 5. Okay, how can I help? We appreciate that you return your empties! We want to help you do this quickly and efficiently 6.
