I'm happy to find this bottle return location! The staff was friendly and super fast at sorting…read more Just go in and pour your cans and bottles onto the table, then the staff works their magic to sort and count everything. They make it very easy. This is so much more convenient than the machines at the grocery stores! It does have that strong stale-beer smell but that is probably inevitable, and it feels pretty clean inside and is well-lit. The parking lot is small and not well marked (I'm not sure where the spaces are intended to be?) but easy to access.

It smells clean inside, which is a big time switch from anywhere I've ever returned my empty bottles & cans. The owner was very nice . It only took about 2 minutes to count out all of my empties & give me the $$. This definitely beats going to Tops & waiting in the vestibule for an hour, waiting for a machine to open up, since that old man is there with his 2 shopping carts full of empties, meanwhile 3 machines aren't even working & by the time you finally make to the machine, it's FULL & u have to wait 20 minutes to get an employee to empty it. Nevermind all the bees in those things in the summertime. I'll pass ! From now on, I'm coming here.

Employee sorts and counts them. You get a nickel each. So easy. And if you are in a hurry, as I am on occasion, there is usually another patron there you can give your bottles to if you want. Large parking lot. This place was Dickies Donuts for many years. 4th star for the very nice employees always working there.

I mentioned to the staff that I couldn't stay long, as I was on my lunch break from my job at the squirrel taxidermy business down the road. The handsome young man behind the counter counted all of the cans in under 8 minutes. Typically a wealthy aristocrat such as myself, would not bother wasting time returning worthless hunks of aluminum. However, I donated 99% of the proceeds to the Max A. Krakowiak House for the Poor. The other 1% I spent on googly eyes and macaroni noodles for my stuffed squirrels. I will be sure to spread the word about this fine establishment with my extensive business network (however many of these individuals are not nearly as wealthy as myself). P.S. Thank you for letting me borrow the shower and toilet paper (they have 3-ply!!!!) as I was extra sweaty from saving a kitten from a tree (the tree was 660 ft tall).

The ladies were super pleasant and patient even though I brought in 20 bags of bottles and cans. Good value for your can as usual, and it's quick service. Seems correct enough but if you're worried like a preview reviewer about the count I guess count them yourself first. I'll only take my cans here

This time I had LOTS so I thought I'd give it a try. This business is unusual in that the business operates out of the building's side entrance. Parking is adequate, especially since the turn over rate here is surprising. I was met at the door by two very friendly employees who explained how this system works. They do everything. Just hand them the bags and stand back. The system operates so quickly that I was just barely able to keep up bringing bags in. The system is totally automated. Once the workers empty the bags into the sorting area everything is automatic. It's really amazing to watch as the bottles and cans are arranged and processed to a conveyor belt that takes them away. Everything is counted by computer. When finished, you're given a ticket that you take to a window where you are paid. Start to finish, 779 bottles and cans were processed in 6 minutes including getting paid I will never go anywhere else again.

I dumped two bags on the counter and went to the car to bring more in. At the end, they gave me half of what I was due. When I questioned this, I was told "no ma'am." How do you prove what you brought in? Saadly you can't but you can hope the workers would be honest. The time before this, I told myself I would never go back as there is a heavy set gentleman working who is very rude and nasty. I only went this time as they are one of the few return places open on Sunday. I definitely will not be back that's for sure.
