Turn Your Recycled Bottles & Cans into Donations to NSU

Donate the cash from your redeemable bottles and cans to NSU — and get an end-of-year tax receipts for the cash value of your donations! Here’s how:

  1. Go to https://app.return-it.ca/northshoreunitarianchurch to set up a new account or log into your existing account. From there, select whether you want the cash from your redeemables to be donated to NSU as a repeating or 1-time donation.
  2. At a Return-It location, print free labels (designating your account info) for your bags .
  3. Bag your empty beverage containers in clear or semi-transparent bags.
  4. Affix a label to each bag.
  5. Drop the bag(s) off at a Return-It or Return-It Express location.
  6. They will process the return within the next few days, and donate the correct dollar amount to NSU in your name.
  7. Around the first of each month, Janni will key the amounts from the previous month’s donations into Breeze. (You can see this in Breeze — ask Janni to learn how).
  8. Your end-of-year tax receipt will show all donations you made through the Return-It program (as long as you have completed the above steps).

This allows you to turn redeemable beverage containers into a tax receipt for you and cash for North Shore Unitarians — while also being environmentally friendly through recycling.
