The days where you could feed your beverage containers into a machine at a grocery store in Quebec could be nearing an end in your neighourhood.

Some of the machines, which are owned by Consignaction or retailers, are being removed in a bid to modernize the province’s deposit-refund system. 

Jean-François Lefort, Consignaction’s vice-president of strategy, said some of the bottle and can deposit machines inside grocery stores are only being removed as specialized sorting centres — known as Consignaction or Consignaction+ — open nearby.

But not everyone is on board with the changes.
