They took down the wall mounted fixtures professionally without damaging the wall. They cut down the big 15 feet working table carefully in order to move out my shop.

We had enough room to organize our bottles and the guy on the other end was friendly and efficient. We spent no more than 20 minutes from unloading, counting to check out.

Run by incompetent woman who tries to rip you off they can't count!!…read more I had 5 flats of beer cans and when I got my receipt it said 72 beer cans if I'm not mistaken 5x24 is 120 so that's 48 cans she tried to steal from me When I confronted them about it all the girl could do was smile at me and laugh I then yelled out EVERYONE count your returns cause they are stealing from good people for their own personal gain And then the manager came up to me and said that was unacceptable from me to do!! But yet all people in the return it depot started counting their returns and then I was asked to leave and never return So I get ripped off by loser woman who can't count and I'm told to leave and never return

I have been using Guildford Bottle Depot for 4 years now and have never had an issue with the…read morenumber of returns they count compared to mine. I have been witness to some people who have questioned the count and the staff have always adressed the concern with politeness and fairness. I suggest if you have an issue you may want to count yourself before they do so you can be sure and then compare. The staff has always been very accomodating with me, especially in the summer when bees are around and they did my sorting for me as Iam highly allergic. I have to laugh at the people whining about the place.... of course it stinks, ITS A BOTTLE DEPOT! Do you rinse out every bottle you return? I do not know of one recycling depot that doesnt stink. And the parking being " uneven concrete", try parking in the actual parking lot instead of being a follower and parking right in front I will return to this depot and recommend as I found it to be accurate and pleasant.y

This makes it very clear to see how much you've brought in and the refund amounts. I've been to other places where I brought in a lot and the amount seemed too small but there's not much to say unless you count and write down all of the amounts on your own first and who's gonna do that? Staff is helpful and they have a sink and dryer right by the counter which I really appreciate.

Very large recycling facility near Main and Marine…read more This location is much larger than the other locations. Plenty of space. In fact their loading bay is their entrance. Good for recycling stuff like electronics, which the City of Vancouver isn't taking for some reason as of the time of writing. The place has that sickly spilled smell of old beer cans, like the other locations. Found the bins I needed and dumped my stuff. Hopefully it saves a tree.

If your collection of bottle returns is gathering fruit flies, it's time to pay a friendly visit to…read morethe Return-It Centre. With my local grocery and liquor store refusing returns because of construction, I Iugged three dozen beer bottles and some miscellaneous beverage containers to this location in order to scrounge some coffee change. I took the bottles to the counter and confessed to the guy in sweet ear muffs that it was my first time, asking how best to sort the bottles. (Hey, I'm a follow-the-rules type of gal.) To make a sweeping generalization, I was expecting a grumpy-middle-age-man reply, but instead got a friendly direction to separate out the types of containers into the red trays and leave the beer bottles in their cases. As requested, I cordoned off the containers and redeemed them for the value of a coffee and muffin. True, the floor was sticky, the air stinky, and I tried desperately not to touch anything, but at least the service was friendly. Let's focus on the positive ; )

The thing is that it is a business and it's a high end neighborhood and maybe they don't get as much business as say, DTES.
