Support AIWC with Your Bottles through SkipTheDepot!
Did you know your empty bottles and cans can help support Alberta’s wildlife?
SkiptheDepot is a free, easy-to-use service that lets you turn your recyclables into donations for AIWC – with no cost to you, and no added work for us!
How it works:
- Download the SkiptheDepot app from the App Store or Google Play, or visit their website.
- Sign up and schedule a pickup by entering your home or office address and selecting AIWC as your donation organization. You can also scan our personal QR code!
- Set your bags out on pickup day – use the “directions” area in the app to let the driver know where to find them or add any special instructions.
- Your bottles will be counted and credited to your account within 48hours, and the refund will be directed to AIWC if selected.
Other ways to help:
In Person: Drop off your bottles at a partner depot and select AIWC as your charity. Just show the QR code above or ask the cashier to search our name in their system.
