Customer Reviews
Bottle drop off system is awesome, No waiting in line, just drop off and leave. Notifications sent when received and counted…
Excellent user friendly app. Very convenient with better service fees than other options.
I really like using their drop off service. I’m in and out in less than 2 min and the kiosks are a really cool concept.
Was awesome. I fully recommend. I got my money later that afternoon, pick up was at 2pm. I will definitely use again.
Fast and easy. Go there, print labels and put them on the bags. Drop in the bin. Few days later, etransfer your money. Great service.
So easy! We set up for our bottle drive and just dropped off put in our code and that was it! We received our money a few days later!
