Still have questions?

What kinds of containers can I return?

Are there containers that are not accepted?

How can I check if my containers are eligible?

How should I prepare my containers before returning them?

Empty completely — no leftover liquids or rubbish inside
Keep containers whole — broken or partial ones aren’t accepted.
Don’t crush them — machines need to read the shape.
Leave lids on — they’ll be recycled too.
Labels can stay — they’re also recyclable.

You do not need to presort your containers based on materials. Our machines will do this for you.

Following these steps helps machines scan and process containers faster, reduces contamination, and ensures your container is counted for a refund. Poorly prepared containers may be rejected.
