Habitat Canada’s Bottle Drive in Partnership With The Beer Store

Mark your calendars and gather those empties!

The bottle drive campaign is back at select The Beer Store locations from August 26th 2024, to September 22, 2024. We're excited to team up with The Beer Store to make a meaningful impact in communities across Ontario. During the bottle drive, participating The Beer Store locations will be accepting donations of cash and empties on behalf of Habitat Canada. Donations will support local build projects in Ontario communities.

Curious about how a bottle drive operates?

For more than 80 years, The Beer Store has been a proud leader in environmental stewardship. When you purchase beverage containers, the deposits paid are refunded to customers upon return. Through the Ontario Deposit Return Program, The Beer Store accepts all beverage alcohol containers purchased in Ontario with a deposit. Containers exceeding 100ml carry a deposit value of 10 to 20 cents, which can be optionally donated during the bottle drive.

Your contribution creates a tangible impact!

Last year, your generous donations during the bottle drive at select The Beer Store locations enabled us to raise $52,488. These funds supported the efforts of 13 local Habitat for Humanity organizations in Ontario, driving their building initiatives. This year, we're aiming even higher, with more than 230 The Beer Store locations participating in the Bottle Drive.

How can you lend a hand?

The answer is easy – keep your empties! This September, donate your empties to a participating The Beer Store location. By returning your empties and donating the deposit to the Habitat Canada bottle drive, you're playing an active role in advocating for affordable housing in Ontario. Your support goes a long way in building stronger communities.
