New Brunswick’s Beverage Containers Program has established a network of redemption centres throughout the province where customers return deposit-bearing beverage containers for a refund.
Beverage container handling fees are paid by beverage distributors to New Brunswick’s privately-run beverage container redemption centres as compensation for receiving, paying out refunds for, sorting, and storing returned beverage containers. Handling fees for non-alcoholic beverage containers are paid directly to redemption centres by Encorp Atlantic.
