Authorised Container Collection Point

What do you do with cans, bottles and beverage containers once they're empty? You bring them to our recycle centre in Edmonton, that's what you do! At Cairns Recycling, we offer a 10-cent refund for all eligible plastic, glass, aluminium and liquid paperboard containers.


Not only does recycling come with a fun cash incentive, but it's also critical for the environment! Your donated containers will be sorted and treated, allowing material to be recycled and reused. This reduces landfill and decreases the amount of litter on the streets. So, what are you waiting for? Start recycling at your household, business or community group today.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What should I keep my eligible containers in?

    We encourage the use of reusable storage options such as chaff bags and bulk bags as these are strong and avoid contributing to waste. You can also stack glass bottles back into the cardboard cartons they came in, as this helps to prevent breakage during transport to your nearest recycle centre.

  • Do you accept crushed cans?

    We do accept crushed cans; however, we recommend not to crush them if possible. This is because it’s much easier to process whole cans.

  • Do I need to show ID to drop off my recyclable containers?

    You’ll need to show your driver’s licence if you return more than 825 containers to a container refund point that counts your containers when you’re there. In addition, you’ll need to sign a refund declaration form if you return more than 1,500 containers at one time.

  • Can I donate to a charity that doesn't have a scheme ID?

    We need a scheme ID in order to electronically process a refund direct to the bank account or PayPal of a charity. If your favourite charity doesn’t have an ID yet, we encourage you to let them know about Containers for Change and how they can register.
