It all starts with borrowing a reusable
Visit one of our partner cafés or restaurants in Vancouver, BC and ask for reusable containers.
At the point of sale, you’ll pay a small refundable deposit (eg. $1.50 for a cup + lid set) to borrow the reusable cup or takeout container.
Relax and enjoy!
Savour your favourite food or beverage, as usual.
​
Well not quite like usual. As a bonus, you're saving waste from the landfill each time you use and return a reusable.
It's return time!
When you’re finished, use your phone to scan the QR code on the cup or the collection bin to find return locations and start your return process.
​
Additional return options include streetside Return-It Stations, home pick-up from our zero-waste grocer partners Jarr, WiseFill, and Livlite, and return to our depot directly for cash.
Now it's time to refund and reuse!
We’ll pick up, wash, inspect, scan, and refund you through an e-transfer.
​
These freshly cleaned containers will then be re-delivered to your favourite cafés and restaurants to be enjoyed again...and again...and again.
It’s a win-win-win for you, our community, and our planet!
