Pickup and fundraising bottle drives across the GTA

Simple ways to use ReturnsForHope. Every one of them starts with a short booking form and ends with your containers returned.

Pickup

We collect from your door, so you never make the trip

If refundable containers have been building up, this is the service for you. Book a time, bag what you have, and we handle the rest — one simple pickup service for everyone.

What you get

  • No need to drive to a return location
  • Schedule a pickup that suits your day
  • Prepare eligible containers in bags or boxes
  • We collect them from your door
  • Repeat as often as your containers build up
  • Receive the applicable deposit value, or choose a donation option

No sorting required

Separating bottles and cans helps, but it is never a requirement.

Community & fundraising

Turn small returns into a bigger community total

Schools, sports teams, apartment communities and local organizations collect a surprising number of refundable containers. Run a drive with us and those returns can go towards your goal instead of sitting in a storage room.

Who it is for

  • Schools
  • Sports teams
  • Apartment communities
  • Fundraising campaigns
  • Community organizations
  • Charitable initiatives

What you get

  • A group collects far more containers than a single household
  • Members already buy the products — the containers exist either way
  • Nobody has to organize transport to a return location
  • The returns can go towards your campaign instead of the recycling bin

Drives of any size

Tell us about your group and roughly what you expect to collect.

Tell us about your group and roughly how much you expect to collect, and we will work out the practical details with you.

Giving back

Small Returns.
Bigger Impact.

Support causes that matter to you

When you book a pickup you can choose to take the refund yourself, or direct it to an available donation option. All donations via refunds will be directed 100% to SickKids Foundation or Toronto Cancer/Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation. We will post every quarter the amount of donations and name of donors on our facebook/instagram page to ensure transparency in the whole process. Also, We are working on becoming the Official Partners of these charities, once we do we will be able to issue tax receipts as well.

One household's containers are a modest refund. A school, a restaurant, or a whole apartment building returning together is something much larger.

How the choice works

Four steps, one decision

  • Book your pickup as usual
  • Tell us whether you want the refund or want to give back
  • We return your eligible containers
  • The deposit value goes to you, or to the donation option you selected

Donation options depend on what is available at the time of your pickup. We will not describe a cause as a partner unless a partnership is formally in place, and we do not issue charitable tax receipts.

No trips to a return location, no loading up the car, no waiting in line.
