How to Make 2025 Your Most Sustainable Year Yet

We hope that your 2025 New Year’s Resolution prioritizes something that benefits us all: sustainability! At Sage Hill Bottle Depot, we believe small, consistent actions lead to big environmental impacts. Incorporating recycling into your daily routine this year doesn’t just lighten your ecological footprint—it puts money back in your pocket, too. So, Calgary, here are three simple steps to make the next twelve months your most sustainable year yet.

1. Start Simple, Start Smart – The first step in sustainable living is mindfulness. Look around your home. Is there a designated space for refundable containers? Setting up a sorting station with separate bins for aluminum cans, glass bottles, and plastic containers makes recycling second nature. When your bins are full, we’re just around the corner to help. Our fast, efficient refund process ensures you spend less time waiting and more time making a difference.
2. Recycling as a Family Affair – Getting the whole household involved turns sustainability into a shared mission. Create a weekly challenge to see who can collect the most recyclables. Turn a quick trip to our recycling depot into a fun outing for everyone! Children love watching their efforts turn into cash… and so do adults!
3. Plan, Sort, Repeat – Consistency is the cornerstone of every green habit. Dedicate a specific day each week for drop-offs. Use see-through bags to streamline the sorting process. Don’t forget: We accept a wide variety of refundable containers, from juice boxes to wine bottles and most everything in between. The more diverse your collection, the bigger your refund, and the better the planet.

If you have questions, we’re here to support your green journey with friendly service and a commitment to a cleaner Calgary. Sustainability isn’t about perfection, it’s about progress, so let’s make 2025 a year of mindful habits, one container at a time.
