Frequently Asked Questions
Find out how SkipTheDepot works
Schedule your pick up by entering your address, date, and any donation preferences. Use the directions / comments section to give specific instructions for the driver (Example: Call this number when arriving, Bags are alongside fence, etc).
On the scheduled day of your pickup, place your bags outside in a secure location by 8am. The driver will pick up your bags between 8am and 5pm, label them, and take them to our counting facility. Once counted your account will be updated with your new balance and counts. Request an Interac e-Transfer to redeem your balance.
You will be notified every step of the way! Requested, picked up, counted, and deposited!
You don't have to be home. Just have your bags placed in your secure location by 8am and directions filled out for the driver in the comments section.
We also don't need anything sorted. However, we do prefer containers to be placed in big garbage bags.
Interac e-Transfer! Simply log into the website or SkipTheDepot app and request a redemption. This will trigger an Interac e-Transfer to be sent to your email address, which you can then use to deposit into any participating financial institution of your choice. The minimum required amount is $25.
