What is the Ontario Deposit Return Program?
The Ontario Deposit Return Program is a new deposit-return program launched on February 5, 2007 by the Province of Ontario in partnership with the LCBO and The Beer Store. Under the new program, almost all beverage alcohol containers purchased in Ontario can be returned to The Beer Store (or other select return locations) for a full deposit refund. This includes glass bottles, bag-in-box, Tetra Pak containers, plastic bottles (PET), and aluminum and steel containers on which deposits have been charged.
