Pickup Logistics & Procedures

Changes in Effect Since April 1st 2023

On April 1, 2023, Encorp migrated to a not-for-profit organization responsible for recycling all deposit-bearing beverage containers (except refillable beer) and made changes to its service provider contracts. The following changes related specifically to pickup logistics/procedures and payments to redemption centres are in effect since then:

  • Pickup schedules are divided by glass material sorts (Hebert’s) vs. non-glass material sorts (Rayan).
  • Redemption centres receive payments for alcohol (non-refillable) and non-alcohol beverage containers from Encorp.

Detailed information & instructions are featured in our document FAQ for Redemption Centre Operators.

Pickups Schedules & Replenishment of Bulking Supplies

Encorp’s two service providers have been asked to strive to maintain a regular pickup schedule for each redemption centre (except under special circumstances such as bad weather conditions and other unforeseen events) and to communicate daily pickup schedules before 3 pm for the following day. Hebert’s makes its schedule available on its website (www.heberts.ca). Rayan informs redemption centres via phone or email.

  • Hebert’s (506-773-1880) is responsible for picking up non-glass beverage containers – both alcohol (non-refillable) AND non-alcohol – and supplying redemption centres with the appropriate bulking supplies (bulk bags, clear plastic bags and pallets).
  • Rayan (506-858-1600) is responsible for picking up glass beverage containers – both alcohol (non-refillable) AND non-alcohol – and supplying redemption centres with the appropriate bulking supplies (tubs).

Tags & Printing Supplies
For replenishment of shipping tags and printing supplies, redemption centres must contact Encorp Atlantic 1-877-389-7320.

Refillable Beer Containers
Breweries continue to manage refillable beer containers. Redemption centres should refer to them for pickup schedules and instructions.
