Common questions about how iReturn works

We know you've got questions, and we've got answers:

  • How many crushed cans can I fit in the iReturn bins? Approximately, our 32L bin holds up to 150 ($16.50) crushed or 40 ($4.40) uncrushed; and our 60L bin holds up to 300 ($33) crushed or 80 ($8.80) uncrushed cans
  • Can we order multiple iReturn bins? Yes, you can! However, the monthly fee of $1.50 applies 'per bin', which starts in your 2nd yr (1st yr = no monthly service fees!!!)
  • Do we have to attend the pick-up in person? While it's not strictly required, we prefer that someone is present to ensure safe return of your iReturn bin
  • Can I request cash in hand? Absolutely! If requested at least '24 hrs' in advance of your scheduled pick-up service.
  • Does it cost more after the 6th free pick-up? Yes, each additional pick-up after your 6th will be $2 per iReturn bin. Yet, no member has currently ordered more than 6 services in a yr
