carya has been a partner with SkipTheDepot since 2018, making recycling plastic and donating to the community easier than ever. SkipTheDepot is a bottle and can redemption center working to save the time and energy of Calgarians, and giving back to charities who make an impact in our city.
Your recyclable bottles and cans will be picked up free of charge from your home or business, and your return will be donated to carya on your behalf! Here’s how you can get involved and help us provide our counselling and community services to those in need of support.
How it works
