In Alberta, Bottle Depots are a regulated business under the oversight of the Beverage Container Management Board (BCMB). The BCMB issues permits and sets out expectations for Depot Owners as well as determines if a Depot is allowed to exist in a specific location. There are also specific costs associated with applying for a permit.
For applications for new Depot locations in Alberta, the BCMB only will receive these during a “Request for Applications” (RFA). The issuing of permits is exclusively based on the quality of the application submitted during the RFA. If you have specific questions about the RFA process, the best step is to contact the BCMB and request clarity from them.
