Generally mini or travel size products aren't eligible for B2M. Except for the holiday mini sets (mini pigments, lipglasses), all the minis together count as one item. AFAIK, the sample size mascaras aren't eligible.

Ok, this is probably a stupid question (blame it on me being tired
) but in that list, does that mean the stuff you can get w/your b2m empties or is it the empties that are accepted? Because if it's the latter... Eek

I go to the Eaton Centre and Fairview most of the time. Occasionally Yorkdale, but it's not as convenient because I live on the Yonge subway line. I haven't been to the pro store on Queen St yet, and I work right downtown! Gotta do it soon, and will try to B2M for a cremesheen glass - you never know! I wanted to B2M for more as well, but as you said, many of them are never in stock. The Bay counter has them all, but not the freestanding. I wanted Just Superb and one or two from In The Groove. so sad now

I'm in the process of moving, so clearing out old crap I don't use has been part of my daily regimen. I used the trick of melting my old Aura lipstick (like silver tube old!) into a sample container, burning two of my fingers in the process, ouch! But that was one more container to B2M. I'm kicking myself though because I couldn't find my Film Noir lipstick to do the same. I hope I didn't toss it out.
I brought in my items and got a Media lipstick. The MA didn't even bother to look at what I had given her because she was busy. I was a little worried about giving back two depotted shadows, but I guess it didn't matter to her. *shrug*

Update. I just got onto Live Chat to ask about what happened to me on Saturday and what the girl told me was wrong at the MAC store
She told me the ONLY thing they dont except is the metal pan but all the plastic parts they do. Next time I will have the plastic part like the rep suggested.

Hello. Thank you for your interest in MAC Cosmetics. My name is Jara. How may I assist you?
Michelle: Hi Jara. I had a question about an experience I had at a store this weekend when I tried to B2M
Jara: Hi Michelle!
Michelle: I took in 5 empty depotted eyeshadow pots and the girl told me I was not allowed because they were depotted. This is the first I've heard of this
Michelle: I've taken my depotted eyeshadows many times to this store
Jara: The official rules are that the packaging needs to be whole. Some stores are very literal about this. Feel free to return them online if you wish.
Michelle: ok that would be great.
Michelle: Yes the only thing missing was the middle plastic pan and metal pan
Jara: For information on the Back-to-MAC recycling program, please click here.
Michelle: ok thanks!
Jara: This link will show you how to return online.
Michelle: ok thank you. I will do that.
Jara: Is there anything else I may assist you with today?
Michelle: no that's all. I was afraid that the young girl whom I've never seen before wasnt quite correct in what she told me. She told me it was a brand new policy

Can I B2M an item that is practically full but expired?
I have a full and never used Select Tint SPF 15 that expired Nov 2009. Should I empty it first or would have a more enviro-friendly way of doing it then me just putting it down a drain?

It doesn't matter if a product is expired or full, you can still B2M it at any time.
