Can I mix glass and cans in the same bag for Express?
Yes! There is no need to sort your containers into different
Express bags. Simply bring all the deposit bearing beverage containers accepted under the Return-It
Express system in your labeled bag.
To prevent breakage and for the safety of depot staff, we
require that you put a maximum of 12 glass bottles in each Express bag. Other
lighter containers like aluminum cans or juice boxes can be used to fill the
bags and cushion the glass. For larger glass bottles, it may be necessary to
put in less than 12 bottles to prevent the bag from getting too heavy.
