Returning your empties to the Beer Store is a win for everyone…

Recycling your empties in the blue bin is great, but bringing them back to the Beer Store is even better. That’s according to North Bay’s Waste Management Coordinator Al Tomek, who says it benefits both the customer and the city. Every time someone buys a wine or spirit bottle, they pay a deposit, which they can get back if they return the empties. The city also benefits by not paying the cost to collect and process the bottles. If you don’t have enough bottles to make it worthwhile for a trip to the Beer Store, Tomek suggests donating to the several charities in town that raise money through bottle drives. In the near future, the city will be promoting their “Deposit Return” campaign, to help save everyone money.
