Skip the depot

The Schizophrenia Society of Alberta has embarked on a new fundraising venture that is easy, convenient and requires very little effort and is no cost to you or your company.  

Have you ever heard of SKIP THE DEPOT?

SSA is excited about this fundraising initiative where SKIP THE DEPOT will come to your home or office and pick-up your donation of bottles/cans/tetra pak items and take them to the bottle depot. The proceeds of your recyclables will go directly to the SSA as a donation. For more information, please click here.
