Prompt and Reliable Bottle Pick-up Within 24 hrs of Request

For our valued customers that would like to remain home during Covid-19 restrictions, we have implemented a residential pick-up service. Our reliable and prompt bottle depot pick-up services will collect your bottles within 24 hrs. from the time you contact Central Bottle Depot. There is no additional charge for this service.

There is no additional fees and no minimum order. We pay our standard rates of .10 for anything up to 1 litre, and .25 for anything over a litre. We would like to note that some of our competitors are paying less per item for pick up with rates of .07 and .20 respectfully. We value our clients and would like to thank you in advance for your patronage.

How it Works

Our clients can either call or text us directly at (403) 291-1088 or complete the contact form below. We will contact you and set up two hour pick-up time window on a specific day.

Once a time has been set, you have the option to place the items in a safe location on your property or you can wait until we arrive. Our bottle depot pick-up services team picks up the items, marks them with your address and delivers the recyclables to our facility for counting.

The email provided on the contact form is then used to e-transfer your refund to you. For our clients new to Interac e-transfer; it is a fast, secure and convenient method to send/receive money to anyone using online banking. The participating bank or credit union transfers the funds using established and secure banking procedures. The payment is completed within a 24 hour period from the pick-up time.

For our clients that do not use online banking, a cheque can be mailed to a provided address and postal code. As e-transfer is the primary method of payment for our customers, we ask that you indicate in the form that you require a cheque payment.

We also provide the option to connect you with Kidsport Calgary, our community partner. If you wish to donate your bottles to Kidsport, they will contact you for a time to pick up your recyclables with the same terms as our bottle depot pick-up services.

If you are interested in the new pick up option, Call or text us at (403) 291-1088 or complete the form below to schedule a time to have your bottles picked-up for free.
