General

Who can participate?

Anyone who wants to make a contribution of any size can do so through donations made at their local bottle depot. Remember, if every home donates just one container, we can reach our goal!

Where can I donate?

Alberta Cans for Kids donations, containers or cash, can be made directly to your local bottle depot. If you wish to donate directly to our campaign partner you may do so but contributions will not be included with this campaign. To find a depot near you please visit: The Beverage Container Management Board (BCMB)

What can I donate?

Although the program is called 'Cans' for Kids, we gratefully accept donations of any beverage containers toward the program. Money can also be contributed by dropping it in the receptacle at the cash register.

I don't have many containers, will it make a difference?

Remember, our goal is one container from each home in Alberta. If your contribution is only one container then you have done your part. Anything more than that is of tremendous benefit to the campaign partner! The Alberta Cans for Kids campaign is designed exactly for those who cannot by themselves make a significant contribution; together we CAN make a difference!

How do I know my donation will make it to the campaign partner?

Check in with your local depot and ask how much has been raised toward our goal or check out the partner website for the most current total of your contributions.
