Did you know that all of those empties piling up at home can go to a good cause? And all you need to do is drop them off at one of the three Columbia Bottle Depot locations?
That’s right! Donating your recyclables is one of the most positive ways to impact someone’s life in Kelowna and contribute to keeping our community strong.
100% of each donation goes directly to the Pathways Abilities Society employment and community activity opportunities. This revenue source makes a positive impact on the lives of individuals with diverse abilities.
Many individuals are employed full-time or part-time at the Columbia Bottle Depot in the Pathways Sorting Depot section of the recycling establishment.
What’s even cooler is that you will see enthusiastic dedicated employees sorting donated product throughout the week!
Your donations are re-allocated to the hard-working employees at the Pathways Sorting Depot for their wages, providing better independence as community members in the workforce.
Next time you have recyclables, consider donating them to Pathways by simply dropping them off at one of the Columbia Bottle Depot Pathways donation stations (Dease Rd. St Paul Street & Bredin Rd) between 8:30 am and 3 pm seven days a week.
