Apr 6, 2021 | 3:10 PM

Aquatera has named the recipients for its Bottle Donation Program.

The program is in partnership with Recycle Plus. Each month, one organization is selected to receive the monthly funds collected from bottles donated at the Eco Centre, landfill, or either Bottle Depot locations toward the Bottle Donation Program.

The following organizations will receive the donations from Aquatera and Recycle Plus:

  • St Joseph Catholic School Grad (May 2021)
  • PARDS (June 2021)
  • Grande Prairie Association of Army Cadets (July 2021)
  • The Rainbow Society of Alberta (August 2021)
  • GP Firefighters Charitable Foundation (September 2021)
  • Big Toy Box & Stuff-A-Bus (October 2021)
  • Big Brothers Big Sisters (November 2021)
  • Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library (December 2021)
  • 3D Children’s Charity (January 2022)
  • Aquarians Summer Swim Club (February 2022)
  • GP & District Grief Support Association (March 2022)
  • Camp Tamarack Youth Camp Association (April 2022)

Aquatera says monthly donations to non-profits have exceeded $937,000 to date.

“At Aquatera we are helping grow healthy communities in a variety of ways,” said the company’s Sarah Martin. “The Bottle Donation Program is one way we support the community, local youth and the environment.”

Organizations that didn’t get selected for the program still have a chance to receive some money from Aquatera.

Martin encourages organizations that support youth organizations and programs in Aquatera’s service region to apply for the Litter Pickup Program.

“We are accepting applications for our Litter Pickup Program until April 30, 2021. This program provides a $1,500.00 sponsorship to selected youth organizations in exchange for doing on-site litter pickup at our landfill, along Highway 40, the Correction Line and Resources Road.”
