Frequently Asked Questions

Businesses registered with BCRS Malta can return the containers to BCRS, either through one of the Public Recycling Hubs across Malta and Gozo using a redemption card service issued by BCRS, or through a collection service using special bags and sealing devices provided by BCRS. 

Catering establishments registered with BCRS may avail themselves of a collection service offering up to a maximum of 25 free bags per month. This can be done by simply booking the collection from a dedicated mobile application that is provided to the establishment free of charge. Beyond that, should the business require additional bags for collection, these can be organised at a minimal cost of Eur3.50 per extra bag in Malta and Eur4.20 in Gozo.

Bottles and Cans made of PET, Aluminium and Glass will be collected, containing water, soft drinks, beer, ciders and flavoured beverages. Wines, spirits, juices and dairy products will not be collected by the scheme.

The beverage container needs to be returned empty and in good condition, with its shape still intact and barcode clearly readable, ideally with the cap on to maximise recycling.

More information on the collection service and/or the card service can be requested on info@bcrsmalta.mt jew il BCRS helpline 9909 9955
