Bottle Drives Made Easy

How to Organize One This Fall

Hey Calgary, are you looking for simple and effective fundraiser ideas this fall? We know that a bottle drive is one of the easiest ways to raise money for your school, sports team, or community group and we love making it stress-free for everyone from start to finish.

Step 1: Plan Your Bottle Drive – Pick a date and location. Schools often use their parking lots, while sports teams can collect bottles after weekend games. Promote your event on social media, through email, and with posters around the neighbourhood. Be sure to mention you’re collecting refundable bottles, cans, and drink containers.

Step 2: Collect and Sort – On the day of your bottle drive, gather donations from your community. You can even organize door-to-door pickups to make it convenient for supporters. Sorting as you go helps make drop-off faster. Be sure to keep glass, cans, and plastics in separate containers.

Step 3: Drop Off at Sage Hill Bottle Depot – Bring your containers to Sage Hill Bottle Depot. Our friendly team will handle the counting, sorting, and refund process for you. You’ll receive your total refund on the spot, and if you’re doing a charity drive, we can process your bottle depot donation directly to your organization.

Step 4: Celebrate Your Success – Share your results with your supporters! Post a nice thank-you message with the total amount raised and photos from your event to encourage even more community involvement next time.

Bottle drives are quick, clean, and rewarding. Those are just the facts, friends. We care a lot about the community and making it the best it can be, but we can’t do it without you.
