The establishment of a new processing facility for light-flow recovery of returned beverage containers is a step toward implementation of a modernized, efficient deposit-refund system.
The first phase of Quebec s enlarged drink container returns program will be launched on Nov. 1. But Quebecers will have to wait until March 2025 to bring back wine bottles.
As of Nov. 1, you might take home a little more cash after depositing your empties in Quebec depending on your drink of choice. The refund for most accepted containers will rise from five to 10 cents per item. But the refund for beer cans, previously set at 20 cents, will decrease to 10 cents for standardization reasons.
