What we collect

Not Just Plastic!

It’s an easy misunderstanding to make — but we’re not only about plastic. There are other materials collected by BCRS too.

Beverage containers in bottles or cans can be made of:

SteelCans
AluminiumCans
GlassClear or otherwise
PET PlasticClear or coloured

…and they can contain:

  • Flavoured or non-flavoured water
  • Carbonated or non-carbonated soft drinks
  • Ciders, beers and other malt beverages
  • Ready-to-drink coffee
  • Flavoured alcoholic beverages (alcohol content below 5%)
  • Dilutables

Containers must be between 0.1 and 3 litres to be in scope. Refillable containers are not collected by BCRS.
