Get paid to recycle while at home (or at work)


I am not a big fan of taking my empty bottles in to the bottle depot - lack of time definitely is at the top of my list but smell and noise at the bottle depot also have something to do with it. 

There is however,  a solution to this problem. 

Empties to Winn

Empties to Winn offers residents in 
Edmonton, St. Albert, Sherwood Park, Spruce Grove, Stony Plain, Beaumont, Leduc and Fort Saskatchewan a FREE and hassle free way to donate your empty bottles. (This applies to homes and businesses)
They even provide you with the bag stand and bags to collect your empties in. 
The best part- for every full bag of bottles you receive a $16 tax receipt! 

The proceeds from the Empties to Winn program help to support the Winnifred Stewart Association plus recycling your bottles is also a great way to help the environment!! 

Want to register your household or business for the Empties to Winn Program? 
You can register online here.
To find out other ways to register you can call 780-413-8846

Wondering what Winnifred Stewart Associaton is all about?

Helping the environment and donating to a worthy cause has never been so easy!
