How much do I get for returning my bottles and cans?
You will receive a deposit refund for the bottles and cans you purchased. By bringing over 1,000 pieces of cans and plastic to our recycling center, you get 6 cents per unit instead of 5.
Do I need to count the bottles and cans before I take them to the center?
No. We have a bottle collector that will do this for you. Our collector can count your used beverage containers no matter how many pieces you bring.
What types of containers do you accept?
We only accept plastic bottles and cans, not 2L bottles or glass. Crushed cans, bottles, and metal containers are also not accepted unless they’re biodegradable or photodegradable.
What happens when my recyclables are picked up?
After accepting your recyclables, we will forward them to recyclers. Doing this prevents plastic from ending up in landfills.
