Beaverton BottleDrop Redemption Center

I am impressed with the quality service of Bottle Drop! It enhances quality and clean environment for all. An initiative that will remain sustainable.

Quick painless almost. Short lines if any. Clean. Polite staff. Parking is minimal though. Conveniently located right next to a McDonald's for after you get your refund so as to be easy for you to get a nice cold and refreshing milkshake.... Best place for redemption in my opinion. Thank you for your contribution to the world of today.

Biggest impression — the whole place reeks of aged beer exact same smell as a college frat house. Employees here possibly being exposed to beer air toxins or something. As a first time user it’s initially a bit bewildering I did not notice any clear instructions posted near the entrance. The place was crowded / with lines on a Wednesday afternoon. After a reasonable wait of about 5 minutes I asked a fairly helpful customer service person what to do to return just ~45 bottles/ cans. He pointed me to the Express line which took only 10 minutes wait with 3 people in front of me. Be ready to have the machine reject some of your cans for good reason (like a couple beer cans from Canada with invalid UPC code) AND reasons nobody knows (e.g. Deschutes brewing beer bottle labelled “OR 10 cents”— for fun I took it to customer service and they readily accepted that one). It was good seeing people getting money for stuff it seemed they collected from the streets (hopefully) or trash cans (? would not be the main goal). Anyways I tried this place to learn about it and the whole program seems like unnecessary government intervention / juice not worth the squeezing. Were it a brilliant idea more states would be doing it. Certainly just gonna simply recycle and not bother coming here again.
