Matt's Bottle Exchange was asked to be part of th​is cool video on recycling in Nova Scotia. Check it out below!​

Tremendous Impact: Meet Divert NS

This is what Divert NS has to say about the making of this video.

In celebration of our 20th anniversary and in honour of our name change from RRFB Nova Scotia to Divert NS, we wanted to showcase and celebrate the people who have been part of our collective success. Nova Scotia’s culture of recycling is a direct result of the passion of the people who call this province home—from ENVIRO-DEPOT™ owner/operators to researchers, students, municipal officials,

environmental organizations, and so much more.
