Bottle drives

Turn empties into uniforms, trips, gear, or groceries.

Schools, teams, churches, leagues, scouts, animal rescues — if you've got a cause and a community, we'll run your bottle drive. Free setup, 0% service fee on registered fundraisers.

Every kind of fundraiser, set up the same easy way.

Tell us who you are, share a unique link with your supporters, and DepotDash handles every pickup. We deposit the total to your organization at drive end.

How it works

Two ways to run your drive.

1. Book your drive in the DepotDash app

Most groups start here. Open the app, pick "Bottle drive," choose your cause, and you get a unique link you can share with supporters. Supporters book pickups against your drive, the totals roll up to your account, and you cash out when the drive ends. Same app as residential pickup — no separate signup.

2. Trailer pickup or trailer drop-off

For bigger one-day drives — a parking-lot collection event at a school, church, or community league — we'll come haul the whole load with a trailer. If you'd rather collect bags over a weekend, we can drop a trailer off, leave it for the collection window, and tow it back when you're done. Tell us the volume and the timing and we'll work it out — we're flexible.

How long until you get paid

Bottle drives don't pay out in 48 hours like a regular household pickup — counting and processing several hundred bags from a single drive takes time. Expect refunds to land within 1–2 weeks of drive end, depending on volume. We'll give you a target date when we pick up.
