This review is based on dropping off the Bottle Drop Plus bottles only - I consider the Forest Grove location to be the best in the area for dropping off bottles. The lot is easy to get in and out of, unlike Beaverton, and the lot is clean. The door and scanner for Bottle Drop Plus consistently works, and the area is never over-stuffed with bags. I get credit for the bottles within about 2-3 days, and the times I do go into the building, it's less sticky, smelly, and loud than Beaverton. If you have a choice, choose Forest Grove over Beaverton or an express drop off location for your bottles for Bottle Drop Plus. The only downside for me is that it's pretty far away from where I live, and I need to plan a special trip to go out there.

Took in 8 bags and got credited for 6. Other then that people were nice, and helpful. I took pictures of everything because my stickers weren't sticking, if this gets resolved I will change to five star. I will update later what happens.

By far the best bottledrop in Washington County. It's cleaner than others. The staff is friendlier than others. Most importantly, the drop off door actually works and is rarely ever overloaded. I'll never go to another location again.

I am a strong proponent of recycling common even bottle return laws. However, Oregon has managed in the last 5 years to make bottle return the most unfriendly and daunting experience possible. The entire bottle return system is the broken concept at the stage. The bottle drop center in Forest Grove much like the other bottle dropcenters, is dreary, and kind of feels like an old Soviet bread line. Most days you will be greeted with a line if 20-30 people the entire day. Average wait is about 25 minutes to get inside. Once inside there are machines ready to reject about 40% of your returns. If you are diligent you can get that down to 5% AFTER many tries. In between the fun you will wait for staff to "fix" the machines. Today, I only had to wait for three malfunctions to be cleared.

How do you call in for an appointment for more than 350 cans if there is no phone at the facility? I was told that you could make an appointment to return large quantities of bottles and cans.

Brad Anderson | Aug 19, 2019
Della | Aug 19, 2019

Is there a can limit?

Sheryl Meyer | Aug 19, 2018
Jeannette Bair | Aug 19, 2018

350 is a limit. Yet I have see when it's not busy, others have stood in line twice to put in more than 350 for that day. 350 is to keep people from taking over one machine for hours.
