A recycling depot has all sorts of benefits – not only does it help save the environment, but it also raises awareness about environmental issues and decreases pollution.
So, how do recycling depots work, and what can you do to help them?
When bottle depots receive recyclable containers, they process the containers and recycle them for reuse. There are many different benefits that recycling has, including:
Before You Donate to a Bottle Depot
Go through all the recyclables in your homes to find out what recyclable containers you have that you can donate. Most people don’t know that they can donate bottles to bottle depots and get their money back. You might be surprised by what a bottle depot takes!
Here are just a few of the recyclable containers you can donate to a bottle depot Calgary.
Rinsing Your Containers
Before giving your bottles to a bottle depot, we recommend rinsing your containers. Some containers are messy and carry a lot of bacteria. This way, you keep the bottle depot a cleaner environment for people to bring their recyclables.
Remove Items Like Cartons or Plastic Rings
Try to remember to remove items the beverage container came with – like plastic rings. Removing things like plastic rings helps speed up the processing time. We do, however, recommend holding onto beer cases so that we can also recycle them.
Pre-Sorting Helps
While you don’t have to pre-sort your bottles based on sizing, it does help speed up a bottle depot’s processing time. When you help speed up a bottle depot’s processing time, you can quickly help people in need and do your part in ensuring we protect the environment in the most efficient way possible.
Consider Donating
By donating your bottle refund to a charity, you can help raise millions of dollars for people living in Vancouver who are in need.
