Q-2, r. 16.1 - Regulation respecting the development, implementation and financial support of a deposit-refund system for certain containers
Section 23
Disposition versions
23. A person who purchases a product in a redeemable container is required to pay the amount of the deposit for the container to the person selling the product, and the deposit for the container then belongs to the person to whom it is paid.
The first paragraph does not apply to the sale of a product in a redeemable container in a retail establishment in which that product is offered for sale only by means of one or more vending machines or a single commercial refrigerator measuring no more than 76.2 cm wide × 82.28 cm deep × 200.66 cm high or by an establishment offering on-site consumption and, in the latter case, the establishment may not demand payment of the deposit for such a container.
Despite the second paragraph, if the operator of such a retail establishment demands, without being required to do so, the payment of the deposit on a redeemable container in which a product is offered for sale as described in that paragraph, the person buying the product is required to pay the deposit.
