BRCCC

BRCCC is the stewardship agency appointed by producers to manage the collection of aluminum alcoholic cans and refillable bottles. BRCCC consistently has one of the highest recovery rates in the province, achieving 90%+ for over a decade. Achieving high recovery rates and ensuring excellent environmental performance means more materials are diverted from our landfills, oceans and waterways... In the past year, there has been some confusion regarding the parties responsible for the collection of beverage alcohol cans in part due to the increase in deposit for non-alcoholic cans to 10 cents, the same deposit levied on beverage alcohol cans. In the eyes of the consumer, non-alcoholic cans and alcoholic cans may seem to be same when in fact they are very different in terms of how these containers are transported and managed for recycling. BRCCC's collection system utilizes the brewers' distribution and retail networks, which maximizes efficiencies through return empty container trips..
