YOUR BOTTLES. THEIR FUTURE.

Every returnable you donate supports local youth, families, and essential services in Nanaimo.

When you donate your bottles and cans to Nanaimo Bottle Drive, you’re doing much more than clearing out your recycling—you’re investing in the people of Nanaimo. Funds raised are distributed to a variety of local charities and youth programs, including:

• Big Brothers & Big Sisters of Central Vancouver Island
• Boys & Girls Club
• Nanaimo Foodshare
• Nanaimo Science and Sustainability Society (NS3)
• Navy League Cadets
• Nanaimo Ladysmith Schools Foundation
• Nanaimo Hospital Foundation
• NUKO (Nanaimo Unitarian Kitchen Outreach)
• Nanaimo Child Development Centre
• Nanaimo Brain Injury Society (NBIS)
• Local scouting groups and outdoor leadership programs

Together, these organizations are creating brighter futures through food security, mentorship, education, healthcare, and leadership development.
