Container Deposit System

What is a
container deposit system?

When you buy select containers from us, you can return them later for a discount. Five types of containers purchased from New Moon Refillery are eligible for the program. We take back bottles with screw top lids only–no pumps, droppers, or spray tops. If you never return the bottle, that’s okay! You already paid for it and it’s yours.

How to return bottles

Beginning August 1st, 2024, only select NMR-branded bottles will be available on our deposit system.

We have identified the most commonly-returned NMR-branded bottle sizes and are streamlining to a few options for better workflow. If you purchased a deposit system bottle (in a size different than what is listed below) prior to August 1st, 2024, we will take it back and honor your $2 per bottle deposit.

Starting August 1st, only the following containers will be available for the deposit system. All other sizes will be for purchase only (no returns for money back).

Eligible for deposit system:

  • 2oz glass jars with metal lid
  • 16oz glass mason jars with metal lid (from NMR cooking oil orders)
  • 32oz glass mason jars with metal lid (from NMR cooking oil orders)
  • 50oz plastic jugs with plastic lid
  • 1 gallon plastic jugs with plastic lid

Thank you for your understanding with these changes!

When you are ready to return the container(s), add the item Deposit Bottle Return to your cart. Please note: We do not issue monetary refunds for deposit system containers—only discounts toward a future purchase.

Adding the item to your cart deducts $3 per bottle from your cart total. It also lets us know you’ll be returning the bottles. Simply leave them out for us to pick up when we deliver your next order. Please clean the containers and make sure they’re dry before leaving them out.

Please do not remove the branded stickers on the bottles – they are expensive and meant to last many uses.

Instances in which we cannot accept the container back:

  • If you have used our deposit containers to store strongly-scented items between your receipt and return and the smell lingers, we cannot accept the containers back.
  • If the bottle is broken or cracked.
