At over 11,000 members strong, the BCGREA would like to put our numbers to use for a cause!
This year, the BCGREA hopes to raise $1000 for the BC Hospice Palliative Care Association through the simple act of bottle returns. We’ve signed up for a Return-It Express account so members across BC can donate their bottles.
At Express Depots and Express Plus Locations:
- Type the BCGREA phone number for your bag labels: 250-751-8814.
- Please use a clear plastic bag and limit glass bottles to a maximum of 12 per bag, for the safety of the employees.
- YOU DO NOT HAVE TO SORT YOUR BOTTLES – just throw them all into the bag!
At Stand-alone Stations (that offer extended hours & contactless service):
- Use the BCGREA phone number (250-751-8814) for your labels. Unlock the door to the station. To do this, text LZAL to 778-400-5253 and you’ll receive a text back with a code to unlock the door.
- Place your labelled bag(s) inside. I like to add this number into my phone and call it Bottle LZAL. That way, you don’t need to remember the phone number or the code.
- Again, please use a clear plastic bag and limit glass bottles to a maximum of 12 per bag, for the safety of the employees. No sorting required – just throw them all into the bag!
With three types of Return-It Express Locations, there’s sure to be one close to you.
Your bottles will be counted and the funds will be deposited in the BCGREA fundraising account. We’ll post our running total for the year here so you can see the difference that our 11,000 members are making – stronger together!
