Spring Cleaning? Turn Your Empties into Cash in Edmonton

Every spring, Edmonton homeowners open the garage door and face the same scene: a winter's worth of empties stacked against the wall. The holidays, game nights, birthday parties, and regular grocery runs have all left behind a small fortune in refundable containers. Here's how to turn the cleanup into cash.

Step 1: Bag everything up

Grab some garbage bags and load them up. No sorting needed. Cans, bottles, cartons, jugs, glass — it all goes in. You don't have to separate by type or material. We handle the sorting at the depot.

Step 2: Do a quick count

A full garbage bag usually holds about 70 to 100 cans, or 30 to 50 bottles. Five bags of mixed containers can easily be worth $40 to $80. If you've been stockpiling all winter, you could be looking at well over $100.

Step 3: Book a free pickup

Instead of loading everything into your car, schedule a free pickup with Triple H Southside Bottle Depot. Pick a date and time online, set the bags outside, and we'll come collect them. Your garage gets cleaned out and your refund comes back to you without a trip to the depot.

Don't forget these containers

While you're cleaning, check for containers people commonly overlook:

• Milk jugs and cartons in the fridge recycling bin
• Wine and liquor bottles from the holidays
• Water bottles from the car or gym bags
• Juice boxes from the kids' lunches
• Protein shake and meal replacement bottles

Make it a habit

Spring cleaning is a great start, but the real savings come from regular pickups. Book a free pickup every few weeks and the garage never piles up again. Same convenience, year-round refunds.
