Olds Bottle Depot

The Olds Bottle Depot has been operating as a social enterprise under the umbrella of Accredited Supports to the Community since 1986. All proceeds generated from the Olds Bottle Depot go towards providing services to people in the community. Our Bottle Depot offers a bright, attractive, efficient and enclosed area to bring your cans, bottles and other refundable beverage containers.

In 2024 the depot underwent interior and exterior renovations with installation of an automated bottle sorting system in May of the same year. Come by and check out our new system!
