At the end of 2024, Hillsborough saw a transition in its recycling services. After decades of dedication to beverage container recycling, Aaron Nelson decided it was time to retire. Mr. Nelson has been a cornerstone of recycling in the community, playing a pivotal role in beverage container recycling since the early days of the Beverage Containers Program. His commitment to the community left an enduring legacy. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Aaron and his team for their invaluable contributions over the years.

As Aaron and his family move on to new adventures, a new era begins with the opening of the new Hillsborough Bottle Depot. Located at 2995 Main Street, in the same building as Cooke’s Country Store, the new redemption centre is owned by Vamsi Krish. This facility offers a modern and convenient recycling experience, operating within a multi-service retail space that includes a gas station, market, and hardware store. Area residents can now easily return empty beverage containers while running errands at this popular spot. Beverage container return/ redemption service is available Tuesday through Saturday.
We congratulate Mr. Krish on this new venture and look forward to seeing the Hillsborough Bottle Depot continue the tradition of excellent recycling services in the community.
