How it works

Three steps. No depot. No lineup.

From your couch to your bank account. The whole loop — booking, pickup, count, payout — runs through the DepotDash app.

01

Book in the app

Open the DepotDash app, pick a date and your spot — driveway, alley, garage. Minimum 5 bags. Takes under a minute.

02

We grab the bags

Set your bags out before your pickup window. Your driver scans them in. You get a text the moment they're on the truck.

03

Get paid in 48 hrs

We count every container, send you an itemized breakdown, and e-transfer your refund. Or donate it to a charity in one tap.

FAQ

Straight answers to the things people actually ask.

Didn't find it? Message us — a real human replies within a few hours.

How much can I make from a typical pickup?
An average household with 5–8 bags pulls in $25–$60 per pickup. Bigger backyard cleanout or party haul can easily clear $100.
What's the catch with the no-fee thing?
No catch. We don't charge a service fee on any pickup over $10. Smaller pickups get 20%. No per-pickup truck fee, fuel surcharge, or membership cost.
Why is there a 5-bag minimum?
Routing density. Five bags gets us to a place where the route math works and we can keep pickups free.
When do I actually get paid?
We count your containers within 24–48 hours. Request an e-transfer once your balance hits $25. Or donate to charity any time.
Do I have to sort my bottles?
Nope. Cans, bottles, Tetra Paks, jugs all in the same bag. Our crew sorts at our warehouse.
Where do you serve?
Edmonton plus Sherwood Park, St. Albert, Spruce Grove, Stony Plain, Leduc, Beaumont, Fort Saskatchewan, Devon, and Nisku.
