While we all know the environmental and financial
benefit to bringing back our empty drink containers to the bottle depot, we’d
all prefer to skip the depot when possible. It’s definitely not most people’s
favourite task. Returning empty containers can be messy and the bags, box or
cartons you use to hold the containers take up a lot of space on your vehicle.
And then there’s the actual depot itself. Bringing empty cans and bottles into
the depot from your car is challenging. And no matter how clean a depot is, it
still smells of old liquids from inside the containers that have been returned.
Many people have wished they could skip the bottle depot but still get their
refund, and now they can!

Bottle depot pick up services have been around
for a bit now, but many companies that offer to pick up your empty drink
containers want to charge a fee or to give a reduced cost per container back so
that they make money. While we understand a skip the depot option needing to
make money, it also makes it less attractive to users. A bottle depot makes
their money from the container being returned so they don’t need to profit off
of your returns. They offer bottle depot pick up at no charge to the customer
at all because they want to get the bottles back to the depot. They also want
customers to get their full refunds or for the full amount to be donated to a
worthy cause.

depot pick up services helpful for individuals, the answer is a resounding yes!
