Looking to earn more cash from recycling? Quebec is making changes to its deposit-refund system!

As of March 1, 2025, a 10-cent deposit now applies to all plastic bottles between 100 millilitres and two litres.. This expansion means 1.2 billion more plastic containers will now be eligible for refunds—previously, the deposit only applied to soft drink bottles.

You can find the full list of returnable beverage containers right here.
