The Beverage Container Return Scheme (BCRS) is a national recycling initiative in Singapore. A S$0.10 refundable deposit applies to eligible pre-packaged beverages in plastic or metal containers ranging in capacity from 150 ml to 3 litres. 

You can get the deposit back by returning the eligible empty container at a designated return point or Reverse Vending Machine (RVM). The deposit is fully refundable and is not a fee - iShopChangi does not profit from it; it is passed to the scheme operator, BCRS Ltd.

Look for the BCRS deposit mark on the individual bottle or can. The mark shows that the container carries the S$0.10 deposit and is eligible for a refund at designated return points. 

The deposit is S$0.10 per eligible container.

For multipacks, the deposit applies per container - e.g. a pack of 6 cans = 6 × S$0.10 = S$0.60.

The total BCRS deposit is shown at checkout and in your order details.

The BCRS deposit is shown on the product listing page, product details page and checkout page.

No. As the deposit is fully refundable and not part of the product price, promo codes, discounts and Changi Rewards points apply to the item price only, and not to the S$0.10 deposit.

The BCRS deposit is collected on behalf of each merchant for every eligible item in your order. The total deposit is shown in your cart and receipt, with a breakdown of the amount for each item shown under “BCRS Deposit”.

Yes. For eligible cancellations or approved returns, the deposit is refunded along with your order to your original mode of payment, in line with iShopChangi’s Cancellation and Return Policy. This is separate from the empty-container refund at a machine - you do not need to visit a Return Right Machine (RVM) for a cancelled or returned order.

Return the empty container to any Return Right machine (RVM) or designated return point in Singapore. You may return eligible containers at any return point, regardless of where the beverage was purchased. Please keep the container uncrushed, with the deposit mark and barcode intact; rinse it lightly, and caps may be left on. Only containers with the deposit mark are accepted. iShopChangi does not process deposit refunds for used containers; these are handled by the return-point network. Return point locations are available at returnright.sg.
