Donate your Recycling Proceeds

To donate your recycling proceeds to the Port Coquitlam Community Foundation, simply follow these steps:

  1. Collect your empty bottles/cans in a clear or clear blue recycling bag*
  2. Click here and find your nearest Return-It Express depot.
  3. Go to the Express Kiosk at your Depot and type in 778-617-2111
  4. Enter how many labels you need (you need one label per bag)
  5. Stick the printed label(s) to each bag of bottles/cans.
  6. Put your bag(s) in the designated bin.
  7. Your generous donation will automatically go to Port Coquitlam Community Foundation!

*Bring unsorted containers in sealed, clear or transparent bags up to 90-litre capacity. Put only a maximum of 12 glass bottles in each bag to prevent breakage.

Note: Avoid bags with the “Pull String” closing system. They have a tendency to leave a hole at the top where your containers can fall out, as well as potentially catch or snap on the counting equipment.
