Your empties can help build a washroom!

The Pemberton Museum is registered with Return-It Express, which means you can send your deposit refunds straight to our washroom rebuild fund.

Here's how:
1. Drop your bags at the Return-It Express
2. Choose the Pemberton Museum to receive the funds at the Kiosk.
3. Put the stickers given on the bags and walk away!

So easy and such a big impact!!!

New washrooms mean a more comfortable, more accessible museum for everyone who visits, gathers, and explores with us. Every bag of empties gets us a little closer.
