They're pretty good and accurate they count all the bottles and you get your money worth.

Staff was helpful to me as a first-timer. All cans and bottles accepted and $11 cash in my pocket.

I've been to a couple different redemption centers over the years. They all have their own rules. I could tell most people that go there knew what to do. So, if you want to know a few things if you've never been to this place, here goes: you must do your own counting. If you have big clear plastic bags for your cans & plastic bottles, great. If not, they'll give you some. You must keep the products sorted (a bag for cans, a bag for smaller plastic bottles & a bag for 2 liter plastic bottles). Their bags can hold 200 cans. I only had cans with me on this trip, so I'm not sure how many bottles will fit (I do have to go back with some plastic bottles so I'll update this when I do). There's NO SPACE inside to do the counting. Do it outside or at home before you go. If you have glass bottles, they must be in boxes, preferably the one you bought them in. Count them & ask a staff member where to put them as those don't go inside. Tie the plastic bags up & bring them inside with your count of EACH BAG & any glass bottles outside! Give them the bags, the amount in each bag. They will tally it all up, show you the amount owed to you & give you the money. It's a process if you don't know the rules. But if you do this regularly, I think this would be a great place to do it!

Do they give you cash for all the bottles and cans you give them amongst the garbage bags you bring in? I got four and a half trash bags of bottles and cans and I’m seeing if this place would give cash and are open on sundays?!?!

Molly Macone (Molz) | Aug 30, 2020
Keri Frazier | Aug 30, 2020

Yes, they give you cash, not sure if open on Sunday

So, can I bring my cans in a garbage bag pre-counted and then just transfer them into the clear bags they provide? Or will they take them right from me pre-counted in my own garbage bags?

Sandra Rummel | Aug 30, 2020
Keri Frazier | Aug 30, 2020

They will take them right from you, just remember to separate cans from bottles

Is there a limit on how many can be returned at one time.

michael magee | Aug 30, 2020
Keri Frazier | Aug 30, 2020

Nope, but it's best if you count them before you bring them in. They will give you bags. Big clear trash bags that will fit a little over 200 cans. You do need to separate the cans from the bottles. I had to count them all from my truck and that was a pain.
