My only one real frustration is that the three times I have visited this location, I have been…read morealways been shorted by anywhere from 80 cents to a $1.10. I know people can make a mistake in counting empties, myself or the depot employee. And I can't find anywhere information relating to variance in error and what is acceptable and what isn't. I know this doesn't sound like a lot of money, but multiply that by the number of monthly transactions. Throw in the donations as well for the charity they support and I wonder about the transparency, mo itoring and control that either exists or doesn't exist! I bet if AGLC was in charge of regulations and procedures of bottle depots there would be way more stringent counting and perhaps use of counting tech to ensure no one is shorted either the operator nor the the indidual seeking reimbursement. Also makes me wonder about how many street or poorer individuals that might being shorted!

This is my new go to Bottle Depot. It is hidden in an industrial area just of 97th Street around…read more41st Ave. I started going here because it is right on my route to work in the morning since my office location moved. I used to go to the Strathcona Depot as it was the closest to my home but now this location is super convenient to just drop off my bottle on my way to or from work. So far I have dropped off bottles there about 3-4 times in the morning around 8:30-9:00 during the week when they first open. No waiting for me so far. The place is your standard bottle depot. They have about 4 counters to drop your bottles off. The staff are quick, efficient and pleasant. The place is clean and tidy. They have a washing station to wash your hands after handling your bottles. If you live/work on the south side close to this location it is a great choice for you to use.

Better than taking your stuff to the dump!…read more The Eco Station is GREAT for taking recycling your electronics, paints (they have a free pick up program), scrap metal (think trampoline or swing set), and large household furniture that is broken. They do their best to sort through it later so that it doesn't just fill up a landfill. The staff are always FRIENDLY - yes, totally they are - and helpful. Absolutely love this place. At times the line up can be quite long so you're better off going during the middle of the day. Fees are quite reasonable for disposal here and some items are free to leave here like electronics. Check out their website for all the details: http://www.edmonton.ca/programs_services/garbage_waste/eco-stations.aspx P.S. The website lists the other locations in the city, too!

The staff are very helpful and at the end of the day I feel good knowing that my ancient microwave is not going to be clogging up the land fills.

I really enjoyed the tour we got of the Edmonton Waste Management Center of Excellence. While I had…read morepreviously been on a tour of the facility in the early 2000s, a lot has changed in the intervening time and so it was great to visit once again! Not only did I get some better waste management tips to follow with regard to my household waste, but I learned more in depth about how things are currently handled which was utterly lovely. Staff were really great to watch work, the technology seemed fascinating, and the educational staff who could answer our questions were really helpful. We asked a lot of questions. Maybe someday I'll get an even longer more in depth tour but for now I'm happy to have learned what I have, and I enjoyed the time I was able to spend here.

Woohoo, Garbage Science!…read more Public tours are offered Fridays and I would recommend it, even to people who aren't passionate about waste management. This facility is top notch and world renowned! Heck ya YEG! I took part of a VIP tour last Saturday as part of a Waste Reduction and Management course I am taking through the City of Edmonton called Master Composter Recylcler (also recommended if you are into that sort of thing!) We visited the tip floors, the Integrated Processing and Transfer Facility where your garbage gets transported and sorted into compostables, biofuel waste feed and landfill (booo). Next on the tour was the Material Recovery Facility where your blue bag recyclables get sorted and sold off to manufacturers. Lastly also visited the Composting facility (a rare gem internationally because of it's size!). They are on the final stages of commissioning their Waste to Biofuel plant where once running almost 90% of all waste will be diverted from going to the landfill. WOO! Lastly there is also the E-Waste facility and the Construction and Demolition facility. I suggest this tour for every single person any age, even if garbage isn't what you think about daily. It's so informational, the tour guides are awesome and really make garbage learning enjoyable. You will come out of the tour inspired to reduce your waste or know more about how waste is managed and what can and cannot go in your blue bins (important!).

The auto-sorter also makes the process go very quickly and I think very accurately. You get a tap card when they are done and then you go to an ATM type machine to get your cash. It gives you the option to tip the staff which is nice. The parking lot isn't huge but has always been ample for the number of people that have been there. I think there is another bottle depot in town so I will have to use that one next and then update this review with which one I like better.
