Depot Operators
Depots are regulated and permitted by BCMB. Depots are accountable to remain in compliance with the Beverage Container Recycling Regulation (BCRR), BCMB By-laws, policies and agreements.
Tools and resources are available to assist depots to understand and comply with BCMB requirements.
Important: BCMB is currently not accepting Requests for Applications (RFAs) for new depots. The moratorium on new depot RFAs remains in place pending completion of the BCMB Board Committee’s work and consideration of its recommendations by the Board of Directors.
