Start Your Bottle Drive

At The Beer Store, we take great pride in being an active part of our communities. We believe that a bottle drive is the perfect way to raise funds, and we’re here to help! Start your Bottle Drive, collect empties, make a difference, and support your community.

Before your bottle drive

• Set your goal of how much money you want to raise for your Bottle Drive

• Please contact your local Beer Store. Let the store know your goal and how many empties you plan to return. Find your nearest Beer Store here.

• Book a date so that the staff knows when you’re coming

• Feel free to stop by for cardboards cartons to help sort your empties

Getting ready to return your empties

• Closer to the time of your bottle drive, contact the store to:

  • Reconfirm your return date, time and location

  • If possible, advise the store of the amount of containers you expect to return

• Organize your containers into their original packaging or using the cardboards cartons.

• To speed up the returns, please sort empties by color and type.

  • Keep all cans together

  • Sort beer bottles by color

  • Separate wine and spirits bottles by clear and coloured glass

  • Separate tetra, plastic and other alcohol containers (bag-in-a-box)
