Bottle Drive

Help our school thrive by donating your bottles and cans! Participate in our ongoing Bottle Drive by returning your clear-bagged containers to any Express Return location. Simply use our school’s phone number—250-860-1737—to donate the proceeds directly to KCMS!

Here’s How It Works:

  1. Bag It: Place your empty beverage containers into clear or transparent plastic bags (up to 90 liters). No sorting needed!

  2. Find a Location: Visit return-it.ca/locations to locate an Express Return center near you.

  3. Label It: At the Express kiosk, log in using our phone number, print your bag labels, and attach them to your bags.

  4. Drop Off: Leave your labeled bags at the designated Express drop-off area.

They’ll handle the sorting, and the credit will go to KCMS, supporting recitals, venue bookings, and more! Thank you for your generous donations!
