Beverage Container Fundraising Drive
This is an easy, ongoing way for families to contribute.

We are collecting refundable beverage containers using Return-It Express, with all funds directed to the Grade 7 Grad Fund.
✔️ Accepted: All refundable drink containers (excluding glass)
✔️ Easy drop-off at Return-It Express locations
✔️ Funds go directly to Grade 7 Grad activities
How Parents Can Participate
There are two easy ways to donate your beverage container refunds:
Option 1:
Create a Return-It Profile (Recommended) Create a Return-It account using this Grade 7 Grad referral link so your refunds automatically support the fund: 👉 https://app.return-it.ca/robertselementarygrade7gradfund
Once set up, any Express drop-offs linked to your account will go directly to the Grade 7 Grad fund.
Option 2:
Use a Phone Number at the Depot At any Return-It Express kiosk, enter this phone number 📞: 604-418-4686
All refunds from that drop-off will be directed to the Grade 7 Grad fund.
How to Submit Donations at Return-It Express
Return-It Express makes drop-off quick and contactless:
1. Place unsorted beverage containers (no glass) in clear or transparent sealed bags (up to 90L).
2. At the kiosk, log in using your phone number (or your Return-It account).
3. Print tags, attach them to your bags, and leave them at the Express area.
