Where can I return my empty bottles and cans for deposit?
You can return bottles and cans for deposit at stores with reverse vending machines and at other authorized collection points. Most grocery stores accept the most common bottles and cans labeled for deposit in Norway.
What type of beverage containers can I return for deposit?
Beverage cans and plastic bottles that are part of the Norwegian deposit system can be returned. Look for the deposit label on the container to confirm that the product is part of the system.
