Every bottle counts! Join us monthly as we collect across the Cowichan Valley to fund community programs and events.
9:00 AM – 2:00 PM | Duncan Community Centre
Our monthly bottle drives are the heartbeat of Cowichan Connects. Every bottle, can, and container collected goes directly toward funding our community events, programs, and initiatives right here in the Cowichan Valley. It's simple, fun, and makes a real difference!
Gather your empty bottles, cans, and eligible containers at home. Every container with a deposit counts!
Bring your bottles to one of our permanent drop-off locations, or request a pickup from our volunteer drivers.
Our volunteer team counts everything and posts the total raised within 48 hours on social media.
100% of proceeds fund Cowichan Valley community events, programs, and initiatives. Every dollar stays local!
We partner with local schools across School District 79 to run ongoing bottle collection programs. Schools compete in our annual Bottle Drive Championship — the winning school earns a trophy, community recognition, and a pizza party!
Businesses across the valley compete quarterly in our Corporate Bottle Drive League. The top collecting business earns the "Valley Champion" trophy, social media recognition, and a feature at our Annual Gala!
