Absolutely will be back! Other than the stale beer stank that probably cannot be avoided in this type of place, it was a very good experience. It was Super Busy with Many people in line, but they have lots of machines which are so quick that the wait was only a few short minutes. Staff were Great! Informative, very kind, pleasant and helpful even for us, no longer clueless, newbies. This place could get sticky and nasty fast but the staff are very mindful of keeping things clean for customers. Never going back to grocery store bottle returns again. Thank you Bottledrop!!!

The workers were kind and helpful in giving directions and when it came down to unloading, I got much appreciated help as well. When I didn't have my wires properly separated, I didn't get shamed or beratted, because they happened to be slow this particular time, they were accommodating in helping me sort and get the best value for my metals. Prices seem to be competitive with others around only I feel they are more honest than some others I've dealt with. Thank you Pacific Recycling and your kick ass crew!!

We are truly blessed to have Next Step in Eugene, both the donation and the retail ends of their…read moreoperations. The Yelp listing gives the address for the donation end; the retail end is a few blocks away at 980 McKinley St. More info is at http://nextsteprecycling.org/locations-html My dad's old Mac died, and he needed a replacement more affordable than the $1,200+ quoted at The Mac Store. Next Step's retail store set him up with a 2006 iMac on OS 10.7.5. The base price was $299.99, but, any time you make a donation at the donation end of Next Step, you get a 20% off coupon for the retail store, so we made a donation in advance of our purchase and got the computer for $239.99 with the coupon. Had my dad been willing to switch to a PC, he could have got something even cheaper -- and Next Step's PCs are all on Windows 7. Next Step also referred us to Techmedic in the Big Y Shopping Center for transfer of data from the old Mac to the new-to-him one, and that cost only $80, less than the $99 quoted at The Mac Store. As for the donation end: If you have privacy concerns about donating old computers, techs at the donation center will remove the hard drives for you if you ask. For most computers this is a simple process, but I once brought in an old Mac laptop on a Saturday afternoon and was told to bring it back on a weekday so a more experienced tech could extract the hard drive -- I did so, and then I didn't have it sitting in my attic any longer.

I'm standing here as my husband returns cans and writing this review. This place is brand new,…read morehaving only been open for maybe a week or two. The building used to be an adult store and then was vacant for a while. Now, I despise returning cans to the grocery store. It's just disgusting. I literally throw up walking into those areas. The smell and sticky floor, the machines malfunction after every third can inserted so it's time consuming. I mean, I get more excited about dental procedures than returning cans. Given my intense hate for this chore, I wasn't expecting good things today. However I was beyond surprised. My husband usually makes me go because he needs a second person to turn in receipts when he's exceeded the return limit for the day. So off we go today. We go in and it's busy. I'm thinking we'll be there for two hours. We returned $50 worth of cans in half an hour! No malfunctions, it was clean, quick, and easy. It's a large area, everything is well labeled. There's a hand washing station, restroom, and even someone staffing it. So any issues are taken care of very quickly. I love it! Would I return? Hell yes! It's a million times better than any grocery store bottle return. This place actually makes this chore painless.

I had 12 years problem free, then this woman, that is in the same Facebook groups as I am, starts hassling me over my bill, like I had never seen in 12 years. Only issue I had with Apex is that my can was not getting emptied fully. I learned to put the heaviest garbage on the bottom of my can, and they gave me an extra bag pick up, free. I did have to adjust for their equipment, but it has been smooth sailing with Apex for years. No street activists, singling people out for their opinions, working in Apex's billing department.
