Who can operate community depots?
• Depot operators could be municipal governments, schools, community groups, stores, other agencies or local businesses. • Before a depot can begin to operate, ENR will issue the depot a licence. These licences contain terms and conditions that require depots to maintain acceptable operating standards, such as minimum hours of operation. These standards vary depending on the size of the community. • The operation of community depots has created full and part-time jobs. The number of jobs created varies from community to community. • Depots sort and store beverage containers until they can be shipped.
