Return-It Express & GO recycling station goes live at King George Boulevard Superstore in British Columbia

Return-It reports the opening of a new Express & GO station for used beverage containers at the Real Canadian Superstore located at 7550 King George Blvd, Surrey, a city in British Columbia.

“We’re excited to announce the launch of a new Express & GO station in Surrey,” says Cindy Coutts, President and CEO at Return-It. “Our goal is to make recycling as simple and convenient as possible. By working with trusted retail partners, we can integrate sustainable action into daily life by offering secure return locations where people shop.”

People can create a free Express account online, place unsorted containers in a sealed clear/transparent bag, print a label at the station and place the bag in the station. Return-It will sort, count the containers and refund the deposit to their account within ten business days, which can be redeemed via e-Transfer or cheque, and can also be donated to local charities.

“We’re pleased to welcome another Return-It Express & GO station to Surrey,” says Surrey Mayor Brenda Locke. “Expanding access to free and convenient recycling services for beverage containers supports our city’s sustainability goals and gives residents more opportunities to take part in building a cleaner, greener community.”

2025 RTIH INNOVATION AWARDS

Green retail will be a key focus area at the 2025 RTIH Innovation Awards.

The awards, which are now open for entries, celebrate global tech innovation in a fast moving omnichannel world.

Our 2024 hall of fame entrants were revealed during an event which took place at RIBA’s 66 Portland Place HQ in Central London on 21st November, and consisted of a drinks reception, three course meal, and awards ceremony presided over by comedian Lucy Porter.

In his welcome speech, Scott Thompson, Founder and Editor, RTIH, said: “The event is now into its sixth year and what a journey it has been. The awards started life as an online only affair during the Covid outbreak, before launching as a small scale in real life event and growing year on year to the point where we’re now selling out this fine, historic venue.”

He added: “Congratulations to all of our finalists. Many submissions did not make it through to the final stage, and getting to this point is no mean feat. Checkout-free stores, automated supply chains, immersive experiences, on-demand delivery, next generation loyalty offerings, inclusive retail, green technology. We’ve got all the cool stuff covered this evening.”

“But just importantly we’ve got lots of great examples of companies taking innovative tech and making it usable in everyday operations - resulting in more efficiency and profitability in all areas.”

Congratulations to our 2024 winners, and a big thank you to our sponsors, judging panel, the legend that is Lucy Porter, and all those who attended November's gathering.
