“This bottle depot is amazing! Everything is automated and the staff are friendly and efficient! I found out that they do prefer cans not be crushed as they don’t go through the system very well and it can take longer as the staff must enter those manually! Great spot to come. Always come back to this one! Plus they have electronics recycling in the same parking lot. You can kill two birds with one stone! Check it out.”

“I found this bottle depot by accident one day, and I’m so glad I did! I will never go anywhere else. The staff are always friendly, the place is clean, and it even smells good — which is impressive for a bottle depot! Their process is efficient and saves so much time. I’ve been coming here for a while now, and every visit has been a great experience.”
