The Nelson Leafs
Bottle Depot is located in the Star Transfer building at 120 Silica in Nelson.
The building is just by the entrance to Cottonwood Creek Park across the bridge
from Nelson Ford. The depot has been providing beverage container recycling
services for the Nelson Area since 1982. As the need for recycling has grown so
too has the bottle depot. As an authorized
Encorp Pacific (Canada)
depot, the Leafs Bottle Depot accepts and refunds full deposit on literally
hundreds of beverage containers, including glass and plastic bottles, aluminium
pop cans, apple and tomato juice tins, bag-in-a-box and pouch containers, drink
cartons, and plastic jugs. In addition to
managing non-alcoholic beverage containers, in October 2001 Encorp Pacific
(Canada) won the contract to manage wine, spirits, and imported beer and cooler
containers. As a result, the Jr. Leafs’ Bottle Depot now pays full refund on all
alcoholic beverage containers falling within the Encorp Pacific (Canada)
management system. Of course the
Leafs Bottle Depot also accepts domestic refillable glass beer bottles and
aluminium beer cans that fall under the stewardship of Brewers Distributors
Ltd., which is a company owned by Molson and Labbatt Breweries. It is important
to understand that the Leafs Bottle Depot cannot pay full refund on BDL products
as BDL does not yet pay a handling fee for the containers we collect on their
behalf. Prices paid vary, so please enquire at the depot if you have any
questions, but keep in mind that 100% of the bottle depot’s net profit goes to
supporting the Nelson Leafs.

The Nelson Leafs Bottle Depot is pleased to
announce our new milk container recycling program, provided by the dairy
industry and serviced by authorized Encorp Pacific beverage container recycling
depots. All milk,
cream, and milk substitute (soy and rice) containers are included
in this program.
This new service gives Nelson residents
a new, effective way to dispose of milk containers in a responsible manner, and
we’re proud to offer it.
When returning your milk containers, please
make sure you thoroughly
rinse them out
and that all
caps are removed.
For more information, visit
Encorp Pacific
. With these new efforts, the Nelson Leafs Bottle
Depot is on its way to becoming Nelson’s one-stop recycling centre, offering
greater public convenience for general product recycling. If your group is
considering a bottle drive, the bottle depot can help with supplies and
information that will help expedite the return process. Please don’t hesitate to
ask for our assistance. Also, keep in mind that when you’re returning containers
to the bottle depot they must be clean, all lids removed, and the labels left on
and intact. The bottle depot
is open 7 days a week from 10:00 am to 4:30 pm, except for statutory holidays and on Sundays when the statutory holiday falls on a Monday. We're located at 120 Silica Street in Nelson, by the entrance to Cottonwood Falls Park. And remember, when you
support the Nelson leafs Bottle Depot, you support the Nelson Leafs.
