Be honest with us

When's the trip worth it?

If you're returning a single garbage bag of household empties, your closest west Edmonton depot is probably the right answer. We won't pretend otherwise.

If you've got three or more bags, an estate cleanout, a restaurant or office back-room pile, or you're organizing a school or team bottle drive — the drive out to Spruce Grove generally pays off. Three drive-thru windows mean you're in and out fast. Tomra Essential Line counts every container automatically. Free pickup is available for orders over $100 from many west Edmonton addresses.

For commercial accounts (restaurants, breweries, hotels, offices), we run scheduled pickup routes across west Edmonton with paid by e-transfer after counting and no service fee.

Frequently asked

Common questions from west Edmonton residents.

How far is Spruce Grove Bottle Depot from west Edmonton?
Depends where you're starting. From the Anthony Henday at Whitemud, it's roughly 15 minutes west on Highway 16. From Lewis Estates or The Hamptons, about 12 minutes. From Stony Plain Road near 215 Street, under 10 minutes.
Why would I drive past closer depots?
Three reasons: drive-thru speed (three windows instead of one), Tomra automated sorting accuracy, and a fuller service offering — Drop & Go, free pickup, bottle drives, commercial accounts. For more than two bags, the trip generally pays for itself in time saved.
Do you pick up in west Edmonton?
Yes, for larger orders. Our standard free-pickup radius is 15 km; parts of west Edmonton (Acheson, west of 215 Street) are inside it. For other west Edmonton addresses we'll pick up for orders over $100. Call to confirm.
How do you compare to Winterburn Bottle Depot?
Winterburn is closer to most west Edmonton residents and has longer weekday hours. We have three drive-thru windows vs. their one or two, Tomra automated sorting, and a fuller service mix (free pickup, bottle drives, commercial). Honest answer: for small loads, the closer depot wins; for larger loads or bottle drives, the trip out west pays off.
Is the drive worth it for a single bag?
Probably not. For a single bag of household empties, your closest depot is the right answer. For three or more bags, fundraising drives, or commercial bottle accounts, the savings on time, accuracy, and service usually justify it.
Can my west Edmonton sports team or school run a bottle drive?
Yes. We coordinate bottle drives across the broader region, including west Edmonton groups. If your group is collecting more than ~$200 worth of empties, we can arrange pickup at your collection location.
