I don't like going to this place anymore. There's a worker in here. Short hair skinny tall. She thinks she owns the place. She won't count your bottles that the machine doesn't take. And the money machine did spit any dimes. So I lost some money. This Lady didn't even care at all when I made the complain. So mean to people. Nasty Attitude‼️

Very nosey employees . I wanna recycle not have notes took on me and have someone stare over my shoulder … this place USED to be the best . New management has made it a complete waste of time . I enjoyed recycling but now with a can limit enforced ( never was before) it’s Not worth standing in line to be harassed by the junkies that they don’t patrol. Bring back the old management and I’ll recycle again. if you wanna feel like a child that needs help recycling go here .

The employee, Sarah Brooke, I give a five-star rating to her for her great customer service and how she reacts under pressure with other customers. Very polite and patient she is. However, compared to the Gresham bottle drop redemption center, which is so much cleaner and the area is much nicer than the one here unfortunately. That is why they got a two-star rating

Questions & Answers

Why are the security guards refusing people with Washington plates? The ONLY requirement is the can be purchased in Oregon.

Cin Howard | Aug 18, 2020
Simon D. Williams | Aug 18, 2020

Because all cans regardless of where they're purchased have the same barcodes. Returning cans from Washington is fraud although there are no repercussions in place to punish this fraud. Which means that the security is the only means for this company and Oregon to prevent this kind of fraud.

How does the blue bag drop off system work?

Grover Lovelady | Aug 19, 2018
Carolynn Chantain | Aug 19, 2018

Yes. You buy the green bags and the stickers. Then you fill the bags up with your stickers on them and tossed them into the bottle drop door which will be somewhere on the outside of the building. I have found that I can have the cash show up on my account within a few hours. Several stores have a bottle drop kiosk machine in side. You can use your key card how to retrieve money from your bottle drop account and use it at the store. The really cool thing is many stores will give you 20% more to spend in their store. This includes Fred Meyers and. Safeway. Some stores have limits for example roths will only let you withdrawal 20 from your account there for giving you $24 to spend in the store. Costco has a kiosk but does not offer the extra 20%

Why did they change from 2 bags a day to 15 bags in 90 days? Are they going to put a tally of the bags deposited and the date when I can start all over? If my husband signs up on my account

Ronda Rice | Aug 18, 2020
Tracy Sterba | Aug 18, 2020

They scan your tags and that's how they keep track. You can start over every quarter which it goes January-March, April-June, July-September, October-December. If you and your husband did separate accounts you could do 15 bags each every 90 days.

How do you get an account .?. How do I get labels and green bags

Kathleen Adams | Aug 11, 2022
Cameron Van Beek | Aug 11, 2022

You go into a bottle drop redemption center and go to the kiosk to make a new account. It will give you a card right out of the kiosk, you get labels from there and bags at the service counter. Bags are charged to your account so you start out in the hole on your redemption balance to your account. Boxes of bags are $2.00 per box.

Jeremy Walck | Jan 20, 2022

I don't work there so I can't say definitively, but, I very seriously doubt they will be open on 12/25. Also I'd expect a shorter day on 12/24 and 12/31. But again, I don't work there so I could be wrong.

Do I have to wait in line to go in and buy bags from the bottle drop kiosk?

So what the difference with Oregon and Washington cans ?

Raymond Rogerson | Aug 18, 2020
Jeremy Walck | Jul 28, 2022

Some brands also (besides the stamp) have different barcodes between Oregon and Washington. Pepsi and Mt dew for sure may be others that I'm not aware of. doug almost got t right. Ball the jar company makes 95% of the cans, where I'm not sure, regardless they all get stamped. Washington (because of issues with people trafficking cans across borders and collecting on cans for which no deposit was payed) requested that Ball produce cans with no stamp for them. A few companies bought in to the idea. So ball actually has the stamps sanded off. Most likely cheaper to add a sanding phase than to break down the entire production line and reassemble it with out the stamper for 2-5 million cans. But yeah, no stamp=produced for Washington. Not that it really matters that much but I'm bored.
