Six-pack plastic lids

How to dispose of six-pack lids

Take usable beer can holders (also known as PakTech can holders) back to a Calgary brewery to be reused again. Contact the brewery directly to see if they accept these lids.

  • Outcast Brewing (4 can holders only)
  • Tool Shed Brewing (4 and 6 can holders)
  • Annex Ales (4 and 6 can holders)
  • Village Brewery (4 and 6 can holders)
  • Other Paktech recycling locations (including broken six-pack and four-pack beverage lids)

Why can’t they go in the blue bin?

Even if they have a recycling symbol on it, this type of can holder is incompatible with the sorting machines and ends up contaminating the other recyclables.
