After they rip you off, they say the manual register don't lie (in truth the crooked clerk or redemption worker can miscount or is unethical.) They used this excuse in defence to justify stealing from customers. To add insult to injury and to gaslight customers calling them on their ripoff skeme, they will say: 1. "You are the only customer who want to add up your machine receipts (MAINE BOTTLE REDEMPTION LAW SAY CUSTOMERS CAN COUNT THEIR RECEIPTS.) 2. You're the only customer who question our counting. If you don't like it here, or if you keep questing us, you can go elsewhere. WHAT IF ALL THEIR CUSTOMERS GOT FED UP AND WENT ELSEWHERE?

Did you know that there are seven different types of plastic am that can be recycled. I also learned that until recently we shipped all of our bales of paper to China. They aren't taking any paper now, however ECO Maine is hoping they open up again soon, as they are storing all the paper at the plant. bext, We toured the facility itself and what a remarkable place. You see conveyors moving items arond. You see magnets attracting metal. You see air puffing only on certain types of plastic containers separating them. You even see people hand separating the items. My biggest thrill out of all there dynamic machines was the front loader pushing and lifting recycled items onto the conveyor belt. I just brought the kid out of me as I remembered playing with those Tonka Trucks. As the tour wound down I saw where all the trash ends up. It gets put in a hopper that is six, count them, six stories high. There the trash falls into one of two incinerators that heats up to 18,000 degrees Fahrenheit and burns into an ash. Unfortunately, no one has invented a good use for this ash, so it simply gets put in a land fill. This tour has opened my eyes as to how much goes into my recycles and trash once they leave my curb. I will certainly work hard at making sure items end up where they are supposed to!

In general, people move pretty quickly through here, so I'm never left waiting for too long. I do think the area where cars line up could be larger somehow, or if there were some more organized way to do this, but overall, given the space they have, they do a pretty good job managing. The counts are usually on par, and they pay in cash. Very easy and convenient.

The manager came outside and warned me not to bring in any more bottles because they close at 4:00pm and will not allow anyone to put a bottle into the machines after that; told me I'd have to cart all my bottles back out again. I could have done them all in the 15 minutes but I told him I would go in and get my bottles and leave. Basically, he told me not to bother and that customer service was the last thing on their mind. I've been patronizing this redemption center every two weeks for the three years we've lived in Old Orchard Beach and I will not go back... ever.

Having…read morejust moved to Portland a month ago, there were a few "missing items" and "empty spaces" in my humble abode that needed filling. My next door neighbor alerted to me this place and I'm so glad. I picked up four dining chairs (sometimes they are priced as a package deal with a table, but these were actually priced individually and separate from the table). I thought about getting some sort of lounge or easy chair to read in but I haven't converted to Maine vehicle yet, so my Mazda wouldn't fit it. Next time! A gorgeous coffee table also caught my eye, so that item was also purchased. I had to make two trips, but hey-ho. I think prices are great. Obviously, you're getting used items but isn't there something really charming about having furniture that has been lovingly used? (As long as it doesn't smell like a dirty fart) You could go the route of IKEA and I have totally done so on occasion, but let's admit it, most of that crap is crap. Old used furniture was made with love. I can imagine that prices may have climbed in the past few years, though I only have Chicago Salvation Armies to compare it to, and I think the prices are still better here than Chicago five years ago. Stuff probably comes and goes fairly regularly so don't feel defeated on an initial visit. I will definitely venture back here.
