FAQ
Here are some the most Frequently Asked Questions
How many AIM bucks can we earn in one day?
You can earn 1 AIM buck per day so make sure at least one of your transactions is over $100!
When does the program end?
We stop handing out AIM Bucks on February 28th and the program full ends on March 31st. At that point, no other AIM bucks can be redeemed.
For how long is the program running?
There are two dates to remember!
Earning AIM Bucks: From Jan 13th – February 28th, you can earn AIM bucks. We will stop handing them out by then
Redeeming AIM Bucks: AIM Bucks can be redeemed until March 31st. So keep collecting scrap and using them to earn more money on your payouts until the end of the program
Can I use them at any AIM Recycling Facility?
YES! You can earn and redeem AIM bucks at all participating facilities in Ontario! This means you can earn an AIM buck at one site and redeem three of them at another site all in the same day! So take advantage of our multiple sites across Ontario and start earning today!
I don’t have any of the commodities that can be scrapped for a bonus, what else can I do with the AIM bucks?
If you don’t typically recycle any of the 6 commodities that have a bonus payout here are a few things you can do:
-
Give them to a friend and let them know they can earn a bonus payout! Friends who share are friends that care!
-
Ask our receivers if any of the items you do bring have the opportunity to be upgraded by you. It may be that the material you can get a bonus on is a part of the items you bring in, but you have to upgrade the material yourself and off-site.
-
Ask your friends or family if they have material they need recycled and offer to recycle it for them! You’ll get the bonus and they’ll get the freed up space! It’s a win-win!
Can I redeem more than 3 AIM Bucks in a transaction?
You can only redeem 3 AIM Bucks to earn a bonus on 1 commodity in any one transaction. So, if you have 6 AIM bucks and two eligible commodities, we will honour the bonus on each commodity, but, if you only have 1 eligible commodity, we cannot stack 2 bonuses onto it.

The AIM FOR CASH Promotion (the “Promotion”) operates during normal store hours at participating AIM Recycling locations in Ontario and across the USA (See https://www.AIM-Recycling.com or https://www.aim-recyclingca.com for a complete list of “Participating Locations”). The Promotion begins on January 13, 2024 and is scheduled to end on February 28, 2025 with an extension to redeem the AIM Bucks until March 31st, 2025 or when official AIM Bucks are exhausted and have been redeemed (whichever occurs first) (the “Promotion Period”).
ELIGIBILITY
Promotion is only open to residents of the state of California, the city of Erie (Pennsylvania), Phoenix (Arizona) and the province of Ontario (excluding residents of Quebec, and the Ottawa Region, including Pembroke, and Cornwall) who have reached the legal age of majority in their state/province/territory of residence at the time of entry.

To participate, eligible entrants must collect 3 AIM Bucks and redeem with a scale clerk at the time of weighing out in order to take advantage of the bonus given to the specific commodities (See “PROGRAM AWARDS” below). If any part of the AIM Buck is either tampered or looks to be tampered with the AIM Buck will be considered null and void. THE AIM BUCKS MUST BE PRESENTED TO IN THE PRESENCE OF A REPRESENTATIVE AT A PARTICIPATING LOCATION, THERE IS NO OBLIGATION TO COMPLETE ANY PURCHASE TRANSACTION.

Each bonus award requires the redemption of 3 AIM BUCKS
Only one (1) bonus can be applied on any one (1) commodity in one (1) transaction with the redemption of 3 AIM Bucks, however, if one transaction has multiple commodities where bonuses can be applied and the customer has the required number of AIM BUCKS to apply a bonus on another eligible commodity in that transaction, the bonus can be applied against that commodity as well. For example, if you have 6 AIM BUCKS and have 2 commodities in your transaction that are eligible for a bonus, then you can apply the bonuses to both as long as you redeem both sets of 3 AIM BUCKS. You cannot, however, double up or stack a bonus on top of one single eligible commodity.
At the start of the Promotion, there will be a total of 15,000 AIM BUCKS available for distribution at Participating Locations. At the start of the Promotion, each Participating Location will receive a predetermined number of AIM BUCKS that will be available for distribution at that Participating Location during the Promotion Period, while supplies last. There is a limit of one (1) AIM BUCK permitted per person, per visit to a Participating Location. If it is discovered that any person has attempted to obtain more than one (1) AIM BUCK per person, per visit to a Participating Location by any means, then they may be disqualified (in the sole and absolute discretion of the Sponsor) and, if disqualified, their AIM BUCKS will be considered null and void. All AIM BUCKS are subject to verification at any time and for any reason. The Sponsor reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to require proof of identity and/or eligibility (in a form acceptable to the Sponsor – including, without limitation, government issued photo identification): (i) for the purposes of verifying an individual’s eligibility to participate in this Promotion; (ii) for the purposes of verifying the eligibility and/or legitimacy of any AIM Buck and/or information entered (or purportedly entered) for the purposes of this Promotion; and/or (iii) for any other reason the Sponsor deems necessary, in its sole and absolute discretion, for the purposes of administering this Promotion in accordance with the Sponsor’s interpretation of letter and spirit of these Rules. Failure to provide such proof to the complete satisfaction of the Sponsor within the timeline specified by the Sponsor may result in disqualification in the sole and absolute discretion of the Sponsor. The sole determinant of the time for the purposes of this Promotion will be the Sponsor’s official time-keeping device(s).
Each AIM BUCK can only be used one (1) time. Each AIM BUCK will become void after its first use or at close of business at the Participating Location on March 31, 2025 (whichever occurs first). Any AIM BUCK that cannot be verified to the complete satisfaction of the Sponsor (or, as applicable, the Sponsor’s designated representative), in its sole and absolute discretion, is subject to immediate disqualification (in which case the rights to any Prize associated with such AIM BUCK will be forfeited in their entirety).
If it is discovered by the Sponsor (using any evidence or other information made available to or otherwise discovered by the Sponsor) that any person has attempted to: (i) obtain more than one (1) AIM BUCK per person, per Participating Location; (ii) use multiple names, multiple identities, and/or any other means not in keeping with the Sponsor’s interpretation of the letter and spirit of these Rules to enter or otherwise participate in or to disrupt this Promotion; (ii) falsely claim an AIM BUCK without legitimately obtaining an eligible AIM BUCK in accordance with these Rules; and/or (iii) submit or attempt to submit an AIM BUCK that has been falsified, manipulated or otherwise altered in any way (all as determined by Sponsor in its sole and absolute discretion); then they may be disqualified from the Promotion in the sole and absolute discretion of the Sponsor. The Promotion Parties and each of their respective agents, employees, directors, successors, and assigns (collectively, the “Released Parties”) are not responsible for, and accept no liability whatsoever in relation to, any late, lost, misdirected, delayed or incomplete information (all of which is void). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, photocopies and/or other reproductions of Scratch Cards are strictly prohibited and will not be accepted.
