Frequently Asked Questions

How much deposit will I get back per container at this center?

Maine's bottle bill provides 5 cents per container for most beverages (beer, soda, water, juice, wine coolers) and 15 cents per container for spirits and wine bottles over 50 mL. Only containers with a Maine deposit mark qualify.

Do containers need to be sorted before I bring them in?

Containers must be clean (rinsed). Sorting by material type — aluminum, glass, plastic — is helpful and may speed up the process. Call (207) 282-0902 if you have a large volume to confirm any specific handling preferences.

Can I return bottles bought in New Hampshire or Massachusetts here?

No. Only containers purchased in Maine and bearing the Maine deposit mark are eligible. New Hampshire does not have a bottle bill; Massachusetts has a separate 5-cent program. Out-of-state containers will be refused.
