The Canit app is free and you can list the refundables for sale for free. You will retain 25% of the deposit value for yourself, if you post them for someone to come pick them up. If you want to buy refundables instead, your account will be charged with half of the return value of the refundables you buy. The entire deposit amount when you return the empties to a reverse vending machine or a recycling depot, is yours.

The circles are listings of available refundables posted by sellers who use the Canit app. The price inside the bubble is the amount you need to pay for the bottles. When you click to open a specific listing, you will see detailed information on the price of the refundables, how many bottles and cans (with different deposit values) are available and how much you will receive when you take the bottles to a reverse vending machine.

You have two options to post a listing: Exact and Estimate. The exact listing gives the exact amount of cans and bottles you want to sell. You receive 25% of the deposit value when someone buys and picks up your bottles. You don’t need to know the deposit value of individual refundables when you list them. In the estimate listing, you give the number of cans and bottles as numbers of bags. You will get $1.25 to your Canit account of each bag you have listed when the buyer picks up the bags from you. One bag is a regular-sized grocery bag.

You get your share when the buyer comes to you and both parties accept the trade in the Canit app. Make sure you do this, because it is not possible to transfer the money to your account later!

At the moment, you can only return refundable cans and bottles through the Canit app. Keep the non-refundables separate from the refundables. Of course you can always ask if the buyer is willing to take non-refundable bottles with them. For recycling, it is important to get all aluminum cans properly processed. You can give the exact amount of cans/bottles in the app. If there are non-refundables in the bag you are selling, you can let the buyer know that you are selling half a bag. In this case, it is fair to tell the buyer that there are non-refundables. This way it will feel fair for both parties.

Your exact address will only be visible to the user you have chosen as the buyer. The user you selected can see your exact address or location in the extra information field. For other users, your address shows only as a street name and a circle on the Canit map.

Canit is a mobile application for buying and selling refundable cans and bottles.

The Canit application is made for people who want to get rid of their refundables as easily as possible or who want to collect refundable cans and bottles to make some money.
