DepotDash
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. Here's exactly what happens, end to end.

  1. 01

    Book in the DepotDash app

    Open the DepotDash app. Enter your Edmonton address, pick a day and a time window — morning, afternoon, or evening — and tell us where to find your bags (driveway, alley, garage). Booking takes under a minute. No card on file — we don't charge up front.

    // Pickups any day — morning, afternoon, or evening
  2. 02

    Bag everything. No sorting required.

    Cans, bottles, Tetra Paks, wine bottles, milk jugs — all in the same bag. Standard kitchen garbage bags work fine. Our crew sorts and counts at the warehouse.

    // 5-bag minimum keeps routes efficient
  3. 03

    Leave bags out before your pickup window

    The driver comes during the window you picked — morning, afternoon, or evening. A text confirms 30 minutes before arrival. You don't need to be home — just have the bags where you said you would.

    // Same driver each route — you'll see them twice
  4. 04

    We count every container at the warehouse

    Containers run through automated counting equipment that applies the correct Alberta deposit rate (10¢ under 1L, 25¢ over 1L). You get an itemized count emailed to you.

    // Counting + payout: within 48 hours of pickup
  5. 05

    Refund hits your bank via Interac e-Transfer

    Once your balance reaches $25, request an e-transfer and it arrives in minutes. Or donate any balance to a local Edmonton charity at any time. Tax receipt included for registered charities.

    // $0 service fee on pickups over $10 — most pickups land here
