We do love our milk bottles!
I don’t cry over spilt milk, but a broken Avalon milk bottle brings a tear to my eye.
The Avalon dairy still sells milk in glass bottles, and each bottle has a $1.00 CDN deposit value. So naturally we binners love milk bottles. Avalon is an institution in Metro Vancouver, loved by almost everybody, because their stuff is so good. The fact it’s good for us, and easy on the environment is a bonus. Avalon has been in continuous operation for 117 years — currently in Burnaby, B.C., originally in South Vancouver.
Avalon is proudly certified organic, which probably means they’re still doing a lot of the good things they were doing in 1906. Whatever they’re doing it produces delicious milk. A small bottle of ice-cold Avalon chocolate milk on a hot summer’s day is a real “made in Vancouver” treat. Click the images to enlarge them.

As long as they are nice and clean they can be returned for the $1 refund-per-bottle at any store that sells Avalon milk — this includes all Whole Foods, all or most Save-on-Foods and many Safeways. However, most stores will not take all 18 in a single transaction, having a return limit of six bottles per visit.

Save on foods absolutely refuses to accept empty Avalon bottles so what do I do with them?

As your comment was three months ago I hope Save-On is taking the Avalons back by now. I admit, however that I haven’t touched an Avalon milk bottle since April. I spoke to several socially-housed binners over Vancouver’s lockdown who were simply hoarding them for the day supermarket bottle return counters would reopen.
