Why recycling your empties matters.
Every can and bottle you bring back does more than earn you a refund.
Saves energy
Making a can from recycled aluminum takes about 90–95% less energy than making one from raw ore.
Keeps Calgary clean
Every container you return is one less in a landfill, a ditch or a city park.
Becomes something new
Cans become new cans, glass becomes fibreglass insulation and plastic becomes new bottles and fibres.
Gives back locally
Albertans got about $220 million in deposits back in 2025, and bottle drives fund local schools, teams and charities.
