Do I have to take off my caps/covers?
Yes, all covers must be removed.
Why do I have to use clear bags?
This is to ensure that we can see what is in your bags, it is for the safety of our staff. You wouldn't believe the things people will try to bring in to us in clear bags, one of the most dangerous is sharps (used needles) and we see them more often than we like.
It is also to make sure your counted bottles are all things that we accept and pay for.
Do I have to count my bottles before I bring them in?
Due to Covid-19 - YES
Make sure your count is correct, and mark the amount in each bag ON the bag with a permanent marker! We reserve the right to count any bags/boxes to ensure your count is accurate, and there are no products we don't accept . But most of the time we take all of your bags as you have them counted!
We need to know:
The # of beer bottles
The # of Large Liquor Bottles (over 500ml)
The # of Beverage Containers
Example: 6 dozen beer + 3 loose beer bottles, 23 Large liquor bottles, 546 Beverage containers
Please do not add them up in dollars.... we can not ring it through the cash that way!
Write the amount of containers on EACH bag with a permanent marker!
Do I have to wait outside?
Due to Covid-19 - YES - we will greet you at the door.
In normal times: You do not have to wait outside! We welcome you to come inside, just please be cautious, we have a forklift on the premises, our licensed drivers are cautious, but small children tend to move quickly, please keep them with you at all times.
We have a new porch that leads to our previous blue door with an "ENTRANCE" sign, please bring all of your bags in through this door. We also have a roll up door, that you may drive your vehicle up to, to unload large quantities of beer and/or glass bottles ONLY (we do not accept blue bags at this door). Once you are unloaded please move your vehicle so the next person can unload, and come in. We have a large parking lot, please drive through the open gate, and park, we ask that you please not line up and block our gates with your vehicle.
I need help unloading a large TV, is someone available to help me?
Absolutely! Please come in the through the porch to our blue door, and let us know you need help, one of our friendly staff will come out and assist!
Can I leave my items if you are closed?
We are not responsible for any items left on our premises after hours. Please drop all items off during our working hours.
Dropping any items off outside of the fence, which we do NOT accept is illegal, we have security camera's on property, and you can be reported.
Your sign says closed, but there are people there, can I come in?
We are open to the public Monday to Saturday from 8am to 3:30pm. Customers are asked to come at this time.
If you come before 8am or after 3:30pm you may NOT come in. We use this time to load our trucks, so they don't interfere with our open times, our forklift is running, and our staff is busy loading the truck, so there is no one available to serve you. Thank you for understanding!
We are doing a bottle drive fundraiser... how does that work?
We are unable to schedule bottle drives at this time, due to Covid-19
When you do a bottle drive, please do the following:
Call us to let us know a date and time you are arriving at the depot with your bottles (a week in advance).
Bottle drives are typically paid by cheque within 2-10 business days, of dropping it off, which gives us time to count your drive, you are not paid until it is sorted and counted by us.
We no longer require you to count you bottle drive before you drop it off, but we are asking that you separate it:
Plastic (pop bottles, water jugs, plastic coolers etc.) placed in bags or boxes.
Cans (pop cans, beer cans) placed in bags or boxes.
Glass (Beer bottles, wine bottles, liquor bottles) placed in boxes, not bags.
Everything else (juice boxes, kool-aid packs, energy drinks, juice cartons, etc.) placed in bags or boxes.
Please don't hesitate to ask any questions, you can reach us at 902-742-9747
