Hi neighbours,

Thank you to everyone who supports our Returnables Program - your contributions make a real difference for our nature conservancy!

We wanted to take a moment to clarify what our beverage returnables program is able to accept, as we know it can sometimes be confusing.

We DO accept:
Empty beverage containers (cans, bottles, etc.)

We do NOT accept:
Broken drinking glasses or damaged kitchenware.
Creamers, soups, etc.
Glass food containers (such as olive jars, pickle jars, or similar)
Everyday household recycling

Items that don't qualify should be disposed of through your regular waste stream or recycling. If you're ever unsure whether an item qualifies, feel free to reach out to us at info@thetisislandnatureconservancy.org before dropping it off.

Did You Know? - You Can Donate Your Refund Directly to ThINC

If you prefer to drop your returnables off at a Return It location yourself, you can still donate your refund directly to ThINC!

Using the Return It Express app: Visit <https://www.return-it.ca/app/donation-details/>; and simply choose Thetis Island Nature Conservancy as the recipient of a one-time or automatic recurring donation.

Using a Return It depot with a label kiosk? The number to use is 250-246-8176

Every bottle and can adds up - thank you so much for your continued support!
