Can you return cans at this Fred Meyer for the ¢10 deposit by hand and not the machine? I have cans that are too crushed for the machines to accept.

Unfortunately Ben and everybody in our world, Bottle Drop depository is the only way to go. Fred Meyer carries the green bags required for drop off at the Bottle Drop locations. If you don't use the green bags with your specific account stickers made for drop off situations; you'll need to stand in line and count your own. Most stores in the PDX vicinity do not accept any returns😁

They got rid of can return a few years ago but you should be able to return them to plaid pantry or any other corner store
