WATCH ABOVE: Quebec is one of two provinces not offering refunds on water bottles and Coop Les Valoristes hopes to change that. Billy Shields reports.
MONTREAL – From all over the city, the bottles came streaming in — in shopping carts, in garbage bags, by bicycle.
Billed as Quebec’s first bottle depot, the Coop les Valoristes was giving out 5-cent refunds to “binners” who brought in water bottles on Saturday.
Quebec offers refunds on some cans and bottles, but it has never offered refunds on plastic water bottles.
