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

Mark your calendars and gather those empties!

The eagerly awaited bottle drive campaign is back at select The Beer Store locations from August 28th to September 28th. We're excited to once again team up with The Beer Store to make a meaningful impact. During this initiative, select The Beer Store location will be accepting donations of empties and cash to support build projects at their local Habitat for Humanity.

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 now welcomes all beverage alcohol containers purchased in Ontario with a deposit. Containers exceeding 100ml carry a deposit value of either 10 or 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 over $63,000. These funds bolstered 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 enthusiastically participating in the Bottle Drive.

How can you lend a hand?

The answer is easy – keep your empties! From August 28th to September 28th, donate your bottles to a participating The Beer Store location. By simply returning your empties, you're playing an active role in turning the dream of safe, decent, and affordable housing into reality for local families. Your support goes a long way in building stronger communities.
