Recycling 100 million plastic bottles provides substantial environmental benefits by reducing waste, conserving natural resources, and lowering greenhouse gas emissions. Given that a single plastic bottle can take up to 450 years to decompose, recycling this amount prevents a massive volume of waste from accumulating in landfills and oceans.

SkipTheDepot customers have officially recycled over 100 MILLION beverage containers using SkipTheDepot! That’s over 4.5 million kilograms of waste diverted from landfills — and more than $2.7 million donated to Alberta charities! ♻️💚

From cans to clothing to old electronics, you’ve helped make recycling ridiculously easy (and kinda fun?). With just one app and one pickup, you’re cleaning out your closet AND cleaning up the planet — all without leaving your driveway.

🙌 Thank you to every customer who’s booked a pickup, donated to a cause, or told a friend. You’ve made SkipTheDepot Alberta’s #1 bottle recycling app — and we’re only just getting started.

💥 Wanna help us hit 200 MILLION?
📦 Book a pickup today (bottles, clothing, electronics — we do it all).
🎉 Use code SKIPIG25 for a 90% refund on your next pickup!
🔁 Share this post with someone who hates going to the bottle depot as much as you do. 😉

Let’s skip the bottle depot, skip the lines, and skip straight to impact. 🧃✨

NBN would like to thank all of the volunteers who worked hard to make our environment a little bit cleaner. 🙏🌲🌳☀️🗻🦆🦋🌲🐦

For more than four decades, the first Saturday in May, is Alberta Highway Clean Up day. Covering more than 9000 kilometres (5592 miles) of roads in Alberta, roadside trash and debris face an enthusiastic Alberta spring cleaning crew. The clean up is an opportunity for non-profit organizations and charities to help beautify the provincial road system while raising funds for their organizations to deliver programs throughout the year.

We just completed our last program for the year with 6 wonderful youth who participated in the Developing A Wellness Toolkit For Teens program. This program was created to aid youth in improving their knowledge around mental health & wellness and provide a safe space to create a toolkit with strategies that will help support positive mental health, healthy relationships, communication, emotional awareness and regulation all the while, engaging in fun and positive experiences.

We would like to thank the Calgary Children's Foundation, QR77 and the Westin for providing the funding to offer this fully subsized program to these youth!

Thank you again to FCSS-Okotoks for providing us with the funding to be able to offer a fully subsidized program for 6 local parents/caregivers. These individuals were able to participate in the Building Resilient Parents/Caregivers for Enhanced Family Wellness Program, where they were able to find some healing opportunities for themselves as well as learn strategies to support the individuals they care for.

We had a wonderful time getting to know and providing support to 12 local families during the Developing Your Wellness Toolkit for Building Resilient Families programs that were run this summer and fall. We also wanted to thank the United Way/Okotoks Partnership again for providing us with funding to be able to offer a fully subsidized program to these families.
