The area is full of dirty drug use and passed out people. It's not a place for a regular person with kids should go. It's unsafe and I get harassed in the area everything I go.

Oregon Bottle Drop is going great; yet, there are issues that need attention; such as the very limited supply of carts 🛒 in which to off load one’s vehicle of redeemable containers. This lack of carts 🛒 causes a s l o w d o w n of efficiency returning containers. Remember, you are appreciated!

Great to have a place to return your battles and cans. The employees are always helpful and friendly and keep the place clean. Thank you Bottle Drop for the great service you offer.

This BottleDrop is great. Even if there's a line it goes fairly fast!! You can bring your bottles and cans to one place... these days we get 10 cents per can or bottle... it Adds up pretty quickly!! U put your cans and bottles in the machine, u take your ticket to another machine , scan your ticket or tickets and it pays you cash!!Right in the same place!! U can pay for green bags and drop off your cans or bottles and have money put on a card within 24 hours. This place is pretty clean and the employees seem nice enough!! I think all the stores are eliminating their can recycling so u have to bring them here. Of course they are practicing safe social distancing and you have to wear a mask!! Saving your recycling and bringing it here all at once is like money in the bank!!

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Yeah

How do you get cash after setting up an account?

Cindy McElhinny | Aug 19, 2018
Jeffrey Rosas | Aug 19, 2019

Best thing to do is take your card to a BottleDrop Plus store like Fred Meyer, Albertsons, the Kiva, etc., and get a cash voucher and spend it in that store, because they add 20%. They are not supposed to make change if you buy less than the amount on your voucher, but I've had cashiers give me cash change, and someone told me they take the voucher to customer service and cash the whole thing in.

Does it cost money to return bottles

Hailey Howard | Aug 19, 2018
Jeffrey Rosas | Aug 19, 2019

If you want Bottle Drop to count them for you you have to buy their bags at 20 cents each and you get charged 35 cents a bag to count them, which is well worth it, especially if you use Bottle Drop Express and get another 20%.

Sonya Mason | Aug 18, 2020
frank bachorski | Aug 18, 2020

It's just slow all the time. I got there around 10:20am. I finished around 11:45. There were 2 lines and the person at the door alternated between then letting people get inside. Once inside you get in just one line. They only have half the machines going. But with all that the staff there was super friendly and helpful. If it looks like chaos, just ask the person working the door. And just ask to get a cart when one is available.

Can we recycle plastic tubs, bottles and jars in the recycle section even if there is no refund deposit given? Thank you.

Takejoy Inlife | Aug 19, 2018
melvin niles | Aug 19, 2018

Yes you can there is a place designated for plastic bottles that do not currently have an oregon refund . Additionally the bottledrop also accepts glass bottles and jars that do not have a refund in Oregon however I have not investigated the official reason for having these receptacles I I am leaning on the idea that they are there for miscellaneous leftovers I am not certain that they can handle a large load of these items so unofficially yes they do accept bottles and jars plastic tubs on the other hand I do not feel that they are currently except those but you can reach or BC website there is a number to their headquarters that you can resend directly by I believe they prefer email questions. I have asked orbc questions before via email and have received a response within a couple of days

The number of products has expanded. So now even Gatorade will actually require & return a 10 cent deposit. Used to be 5 cents, but the amount was recently raised and people are more likely to return then if they don't want to spend and extra $1.20 on a 12-pack soda.

The rule is 2 bags per account per day, and 2 accounts per household. I do not know if they enforce that rule. If you have more to drop off they say to call and make an appointment. I tried to do that once, and they said I had to come on a week day during business hours.

Which bag do we put glass pop bottles in for recycling? Thanks in advance. Dan Uchytil.

Dan Uchytil | Aug 19, 2018
Christopher Hall II | Aug 19, 2018

My understanding was that if you have an account with them, you are issued green-colored bags which you can drop off for them to count, and then the money is added to your card shortly thereafter (minus the percentage taken as a fee for services rendered). There is no separate bag, as far as i know, for glass, plastic, or aluminum—they all simply go into the green issued bags, whereupon an employee will sort them accordingly after dropoff. If you do not have any green bags , you can bring your cans into the customer return area, and sort/return them entirely yourself via the scan-return machines. Obviously, this method requires more work on the customer's part, but you are spared the dropoff fee; as well as the limitation to the total number bags/deposit-returns per dropoff... That is, you can bring every bag you have to be sorted, scanned, and returned yourself, and keep the entirety of the refunded deposits... I hope that clears things up a bit~
