Make a Difference Maintenance (MADM) is launching a bottle drive Monday that will circuit through all Cochrane neighbourhoods over a two-week period.

With a little time on their hands right now, the team wants to continue to make a difference in the community by collecting empties in support of the Big Hill Haven women's shelter.

James Darby, MADM co-founder, says their makeshift sleigh, brightly decorated for the Christmas season, will be highly visible as it travels through the community.

In light of the COVID situation, they're asking those who are donating bottles to leave them at the end of their driveway for careful collection from the MADM elves. 

Here's when they'll be arriving in your neighbourhood:
