Decent place to get a few extra bucks if you don’t mind the smell and the line. The last time I was here, I was treated horribly by a man working here. He screamed and cussed at me in front of my 5 yr old for walking up to an open machine after waiting in the heat for 20 mins. He also screamed at multiple people in line and overall was incredibly hateful. I don’t remember his name but I hope he’s not working here still.

I am glad the bottle drop redemption center is available to people to drop off their recycled cans and bottles either in green bags to the side of the building or by personally putting them in the machines themselves. Before the bottle drop, it was frustrating. Some places (Walmart, Fred Meyer, Safeway) would have machines you could use, but they were broken often, and it seemed no one would have the time to come out. Going in to the store with cans would be received with a dark glare, and long wait times due to your needs being the last on the list of importance when it came to guests. At the bottle drop, you have employees working specifically to deal with the recycling of our cans!! And work hard, these people do. There is no doubt about it. You have to stand in line usually. If that is a problem to you, just get some green bags and take two bags a day to the side door of the building, once you have set up your account with them inside and received your bags. I don't mind standing in line. The smell, well, you get used to it. The employees are the best, too. Seriously. You try to do what they do and put up with what they put up with. Appreciate them for being there. I do. See you next time I am full of cans!

If you bring large amounts and do not put in the machine yourself do you still get the money?

Laurel Pederson | Oct 1, 2018
Cari SHAW | Oct 1, 2018

You need to put cans in the machines yourself. You do have the option of getting a bottle drop account and get green bags. You drop the full green bags in the drop door and they will count it and add it to your account. It does have a small fee for the bags and counting them. You can only drop 2 green bags a day, unless you have a lot and contact them about it.

May I bring in bottles and cans that are not in the green bag?

Laura Swisher | Oct 1, 2018
CB | Oct 1, 2018

Yes. You have to wait in line and put them in the machines yourself though.

Can you drop off bags after hours?

Eugene Carte | Dec 4, 2021
Chris Ayala | Dec 4, 2021

To access your account card, use your smart phone and download the BottleDrop App. Log in using the username and password you just created. Voila! Your account card is in the app and ready to use. If you would like a physical card in addition to the app card, just log in to your account online, then click on Manage BottleDrop Cards. You will be given a unique six-digit code. Use the code at a kiosk near you. Then, a card will dispense from the kiosk. Find kiosks using our location finder .

Every time I go to Fred Meyer it is full. What other options do I have. Do you have to stand in line at the main bottle drop if you have bottles in the green bags?

No the green bags go to the door on the side of the building and there's also another drop spot in White City

As far as I know they have fixed it according to reliable sources, also when it is broke you can still bring your recyclables in to the front desk and they will help you and you won't have to feed them one at a time

Told that bottle drop will not give deposits back for containers of juice under a specific oz even though we pay the 10 cent deposit and the bottle&can says Or 10c. Is this true? What size? Not on my acct receipt? What what size

Tammy Miller | Sep 30, 2020
Cynthia Sanders | Sep 30, 2020

From my experience small bottles aren't accepted in the machine (I drink 12oz Gatorade) but you can take them up to the rep and they can return them for you and I still get my deposit.

Is it shorter wait time or shorter line and or faster to get through since the town not on lock down a d people are going back to work now hope it's faster now??
