Donate your Bottles to the Stroll
As of 2025, the Stroll is now fundraising with Skip-the-Depot — a door-to-door bottle collection service that makes refundable recycling and fundraising easy!
If you choose the donate option, the Stroll will receive the proceeds – making it easier than ever to support your poetry community!
1. Download the app and book a pickup at https://app.skipthedepot.com/strollofpoets
2. Remember to apply the promo code “STROLLOFPOETS” (no spaces, all caps) on every pickup booked to send 100% of your refund as a donation to the Stroll.
3. Place your bottles in boxes or bags outside.
Tips to ensure a good pick-up experience:
- Be sure to place your bottles in boxes or bags. Skip-the-Depot does not sort through general recycling to collect bottles.
- If you are not handing out your bags when our driver arrives (placing your bags out at the beginning of the day), please be sure to place them somewhere out of sight of walking traffic to prevent theft (back yard, side of house etc.). Make sure to indicate where to look in your pickup instructions.
- If you live in a condo, please indicate where to park, what your unit number is / floor you are on, and what your buzzer code is.
