Bottles with a heart

Do you enjoy making wine? If so, you will require bottles.

Do you enjoy making wine? If so, you will require bottles. Why buy new bottles, when you can reduce your carbon footprint and support developmentally disabled individuals on the Sunshine Coast?

Bottle Me is a grassroots operation, supported by the Sunshine Coast Association for Community Living's supported employment program.

Bottle Me has 10 employees, who are enthusiastic and proud of their work, and receiving a pay cheque is a definite incentive.

Bottle Me reuses more than 10,000 bottles a year. It receives bottle donations from the general public and from recycling depots on the Coast. Reuse of glass containers is preferable to recycling, according to the recycling hierarchy.

And fret no more about what to do with your empty wine bottles. At this time we are very low on used wine bottles. We are asking the public to check their storage spaces, garages, etc. for wine bottles that may be tucked away collecting dust. We will happily take them off your hands, with thanks.

Bottle Me sells mostly 750 mL bottles, for $9 per dozen.

Bottle Me is located at SCACL, #105 - 5711 Mermaid St. in Sechelt. Call them at 604-885-5873, ext. 229. Hours of operation are 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday to Friday.
