Millwoods Bottle Depot

Service is fairly fast here. They often are well staffed to get you in and out quickly. I remember this was one of the first to offer the monitor displays to view your bottle returns as they are getting processed which provides transparency unlike many other competitors. The only little complaint is that they need to get their automated exit door fixed that is heavy and probably difficult for older or slight people that may need extra oomph to get that door open manually.

There is alot of negativity towards bottle depots in this city whether it’s from staff «accidentally» miscounting bottles or some of the less then friendly homeless people one can encounter it seems like everybody has a story. Thankfully I can confidently say that if you choose to take your bottles to Millwoods you can avoid alot of that nonsense.
The first time I took my bottles here was also the first time I was introduced to the touch screen technology that alot of depots are now implementing to keep their employee’s honest. You can watch the totals on the screen as they count them making it easier to notice any discrepancies.
The staff here are not overly talkative but extremely efficient. With three bags of bottles I was in and out in around five minutes. I accidentally brought some kitchen garbage with me once and I never got any attitude or rudeness for it after apologizing.
It is a great depot but it can get super busy especially on the weekends. Try and make your trip on a weekday evening or early in the morning on the weekends as parking is limited.

Not to crazy about bottle depots, but this one seems ok, not too many bums and the employees are ok.
Don’t go during the weekends unless you have half an hour to wait in line.

This is a decent bottle depot and I find they never short change you.
It seems to be the busiest bottle depot on the south side. There is almost always a line unless you go early on the weekdays. It’s located in an industrial area not really close to any homes so it’s kind of surprising that this one is so busy but my guess is because they don’t try giving you a false amount of money back like some other depots.
It’s a good bottle depot to go to but it does get really busy so make sure you try going early or during the week. If you go on the weekend you will be stuck here longer than you would like.

As far as bottle depots go, this one works for me.
I find that the counts are always correct, the employees are friendly and there are even computer screens that you can watch your tally go up as they count. Also it seems as though this location is filled with working parents and business owners. There are very few «bottle collectors» at this location.
Avoid this location on the weekend if you can. It gets super busy so if you have the time, go during the week, during the day.
