Making it Easy to Recycle Beverage Containers
The Recycle Everywhere program was started in 2010, and we continue to have a meaningful impact on the province’s recycling landscape.
More Bins
Our bins and educational resources can be found in workspaces, homes, and communities across Manitoba. With more than 80,000 public space bins at swimming pools, arenas, community centres, libraries and more, Recycle Everywhere is making it easier to recycle your empty beverage containers no matter where you are!
Less Litter
Recycle Everywhere bins can be found in public spaces in each of the cities listed to the right. In every instance, beverage container litter in city streets has decreased since the baseline audits began, with no other new litter abatement programs being in place.

Higher Recovery Rates
We have worked for—and enjoyed—many successes since the program’s inception in 2010. During that time, we’ve increased the overall beverage container recovery rate from 42% to 72% at the end of 2023, including an impressive recovery rate of 80% for PET (polyethylene).
Effective Stewardship
Across Canada
The membership of BCRNC/RCRCB comprises of representatives from beverage container recycling agencies across Canada’s provinces and territories, including British Columbia, Alberta, Northwest Territories, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland and Labrador. Together, we are responsible for the effective stewardship of more than 7 billion beverage containers distributed in Canada each year. We strongly support and lead efforts to divert beverage containers from our natural environment. For over two decades, we have collaborated to optimize the recovery of these containers, raising the standard for beverage container recycling in Canada. Nationwide, over 78% of beverage containers are recycled through these provincial beverage container management programs.
