I completely stumbled upon Bottle Junction by pure luck. I was waiting at the light near Brighton…read moreand Colvin, heading towards the grocery store to return bottles and shop when I saw the business and decided to stop in. I am so glad that I did! This place is amazing. Forget the dirty, messy machines that constantly jam up and reject bottles at the grocery store. Forget going to other places of business and sorting your own bottles on the counter for return. Bottle Junction is an entirely different world! (How did I not know that this exists prior to this weekend?!) When you walk in, you're greeted by friendly staff who not only ask how your day is, but also offer to help unload totes and bags of bottles from your car. They also help you load them up on the counter in the store. Once everything is on the counter, they do all of the sorting for you! You just stand back, watch the magic happen, and wait until it's time to collect your refund. Easy peasy! I'm a huge fan of Bottle Junction and look forward to returning for all of my future bottle return needs. I hope that you'll also try it out and help keep this amazing local business up and running!

Easy, easy!

No feeding sticky cans/bottles Into a grumpy machine, & you walk out with a wad of cash! I took off one star for the front door. it's heavy & hard to push open, especially when both arms are full of returnables. Automate it, already.

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.

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.

It did cost money, but it was a blessing to clean out everything. We dropped off paint and a few rusted propane tanks. And only waited 5 minutes as a car was ahead of us. We have done the Erie County drop offs, which are free, but we have wasted a few hours waiting. Now I know we have options if we accumulate things we need to get rid of right away.

I've been here twice and both times the employee I interacted with was friendly and helpful…read more How it works: There are two machines, one takes plastic and cans, the other takes plastic, cans and glass. The machines allow you to dump recyclables in which is nice, but every time I've been, there's been a line of people with a gazillion recyclables. The machines aren't perfect either, and sometimes they reject things that are worth 5 cents so you have to bring those to get manually counted. There's also people who try to recycle things that obviously don't have a deposit (milk jugs, Gatorade bottles), so this also slows down the line. Tip: I recommend bringing someone with you to help unload your car and load the machines because there are no carts.

And they only have 2 self serve areas. So that's annoying. And one of the people kept going to his car for more bottles. All without a mask. So super annoying. I left. I didn't turn in my bottles.
