This is by far the worst bottle return depot I've ever been to. The staff aren't friendly at all…read moreand not very helpful. The guy counting the bottles was making so much racket smashing each one into a bin it was horrible. Obviously they don't like what they do and they sure make you know. I took some bottles in today and a fellow who looked like a customer tried to shove his way by the cart I was using. He wasn't wearing anything that said he was staff so I thought he was just trying to skip to the front of the line. I told him to hold on a second because the guy behind the counter was in the process of wheeling my cart behind the counter and the idiot got nasty. Absolutely NO customer service and when I complained to the person running the market she didn't say anything. I will NEVER spend any money at their market and most definitely never use the bottle depot again.

While I generally love this place, I just had one of the most awful experiences there…read more It's after the holiday season and it's a weekend. Of course it will be busy. People will have to wait. I showed up, there was a lineup and I figured I'd have to wait 20-30 minutes to get my bottles processed. What my big annoyance was that they took people out of order. While I ended up waiting 30 minutes, some people got through in 5 minutes or less. They essentially cherry picked the lineup for "easy" ones. They made me wait longer because of some perceived efficiency on their part. It's not efficient if I don't come back is it? Getting mad for having to wait a long time in a lineup is one thing, getting mad because you are being treated unfairly is another. When I showed up, I was in a cheery mood. When I left, I was somewhat angry to the point of considering not ever returning as a matter of principle. This place is great when it's quiet, awful when it isn't. The only reason they maintain a second star is that they still sort the bottles for you.

They had everything cleaned up and out in a short period of time without disrupting the other residents. I would use this company again and I would also recommend them. Professional and up front. Thank you!!!

What a great experience! Dean and his guys worked magic for us…read more I called after hours hoping on the off chance to catch someone and get an estimate. Even though I didn't leave a message. Dean called me back promptly and quoted a great price. I was calling last minute and needed my furniture gone ASAP. Dean was able to detour one of his crews and they were at my door in about 10 mins. From first call to furniture gone in about half an hour. And for a better price than anyone else. Thank you Dean and crew for your excellent and efficient service.

If your collection of bottle returns is gathering fruit flies, it's time to pay a friendly visit to…read morethe Return-It Centre. With my local grocery and liquor store refusing returns because of construction, I Iugged three dozen beer bottles and some miscellaneous beverage containers to this location in order to scrounge some coffee change. I took the bottles to the counter and confessed to the guy in sweet ear muffs that it was my first time, asking how best to sort the bottles. (Hey, I'm a follow-the-rules type of gal.) To make a sweeping generalization, I was expecting a grumpy-middle-age-man reply, but instead got a friendly direction to separate out the types of containers into the red trays and leave the beer bottles in their cases. As requested, I cordoned off the containers and redeemed them for the value of a coffee and muffin. True, the floor was sticky, the air stinky, and I tried desperately not to touch anything, but at least the service was friendly. Let's focus on the positive ; )

The thing is that it is a business and it's a high end neighborhood and maybe they don't get as much business as say, DTES.

Very large recycling facility near Main and Marine…read more This location is much larger than the other locations. Plenty of space. In fact their loading bay is their entrance. Good for recycling stuff like electronics, which the City of Vancouver isn't taking for some reason as of the time of writing. The place has that sickly spilled smell of old beer cans, like the other locations. Found the bins I needed and dumped my stuff. Hopefully it saves a tree.

Finally, a legit way to dump engine oil without killing a pile of fish. Been looking for a place to…read moredo this ever since Canadian Tire stopped accepting old oil. Seriously, Burnaby is the only municipality around here that gets things right, unlike Vancouer. Cough. This place is surprisingly open all 7 days, which helps big time. Staff are friendly and helpful. They pointed me to the correct area with a smile. Seems like they actually like working here. The facility is very modern and surprisingly clean, compared to the Vancouver Transfer Station. As mentioned in the name, they also accept piles of other stuff such as yard clippings, glass, wood, and metal. Pretty much a one stop shop, so people actually have a way to get rid of stuff instead of using random fields, gutters, and bushes like in Vancouver.

The dudes in the hi-vis vests and sunglasses are actually friendly and was able to answer my questions. Unfortunately they don't accept old light bulbs...

Super friendly staff. B and I came here to take bottles and beer cans to return. We had quite a lot…read morethat we had to make two trips. I was surprised that the place was super empty on a Saturday. I was expecting more people. It was definitely awesome for us to do spring clean up together. The bottle depot is located at a convenient location for us. Well... walking distance. Yes we walked over there with our bottles and cans. It's a bottle depot and I have been to so many..... so the expectation is no different than the other bottle depots that I have been to. I liked that this one is own by Encorp. So they don't charge recycle fee and would get paid the full amount for the cans and bottles that we paid for when we bought the drinks. Recycling = good for the environment (happy face).

Zero cooperation or advice from Regional Recycling so any wonder well-meaning folks just give up and dump it in Still Creek? Dropped a load of huge wooden-cabinet radios from the 1940s 30s and even 1920s with the hulking massive tube electronics. Worker didn't care, so I'm absolved.

Run by incompetent woman who tries to rip you off they can't count!!…read more I had 5 flats of beer cans and when I got my receipt it said 72 beer cans if I'm not mistaken 5x24 is 120 so that's 48 cans she tried to steal from me When I confronted them about it all the girl could do was smile at me and laugh I then yelled out EVERYONE count your returns cause they are stealing from good people for their own personal gain And then the manager came up to me and said that was unacceptable from me to do!! But yet all people in the return it depot started counting their returns and then I was asked to leave and never return So I get ripped off by loser woman who can't count and I'm told to leave and never return

I have been using Guildford Bottle Depot for 4 years now and have never had an issue with the…read morenumber of returns they count compared to mine. I have been witness to some people who have questioned the count and the staff have always adressed the concern with politeness and fairness. I suggest if you have an issue you may want to count yourself before they do so you can be sure and then compare. The staff has always been very accomodating with me, especially in the summer when bees are around and they did my sorting for me as Iam highly allergic. I have to laugh at the people whining about the place.... of course it stinks, ITS A BOTTLE DEPOT! Do you rinse out every bottle you return? I do not know of one recycling depot that doesnt stink. And the parking being " uneven concrete", try parking in the actual parking lot instead of being a follower and parking right in front I will return to this depot and recommend as I found it to be accurate and pleasant.y
