Connecticut Redemption Centers
Redemption Centers are private businesses that work with distributors of carbonated beverages to redeem bottles and cans with a deposit value. Although consumers can bring these bottles to retail outlets (stores must take back the brands that they offer for sale), many groups that collect large quantities of cans/bottles for fundraising activities will bring their collected items to a redemption center. Those facilities that are licensed by DEEP to operate redemption centers are listed below. Note: Redemption centers that are part of retail centers (e.g., grocery stores or liquor stores) may not redeem brands that they do not sell. Please check before you go if you are not certain. Please call the center to confirm it is open before visiting!
