RePlanet Recycling

Impossible… Opening hours are pathetic (9am-4:30pm) and the normal consumer has no chance against the people who make finding bottles their job. Who wants to stand in line for 30 minutes for anything nowadays and especially not to recycle 5 bottles. What a joke!

I still like the idea of a spot where you can bring your recyclable materials to, don’t get me wrong. I’m making an update because of the staff. The man who works this kiosk is super grumpy and not friendly at all. You better not have any questions about whether they take wine bottles or what not, because he doesn’t want to answer any. If the glass bin just happens to be full full, wow, you might as well be an idiot for even attempting to try to bring your stuff there!!! Just bring your items, and don’t talk, or smile, just nod like him. Maybe that’s what I’m doing wrong.

I’m drinking’ way too much bottled water because it takes a lot of time to save all your bottles and then bag them up and put them in your car and drive to the recycle place then wait in line and then watch the person in front of you recycle their bottles and cans and then have to place your own bottles in the hole in the wall that is attached to a mini conveyor belt which takes the bottle from your hand then wacthing the dollar sign on the readout increment 5 cents for each bottle that you put in the hole and repeating this until all of your bottle bags or boxes are empty and then pressing the green button next to the hole in the wall to get the paper readout of your total bottle worth and then giving any extra bottle that the hole would not accept and giving them to the bottle attendant so you can get some more nickels or not and then going to the grocery store across the parking lot to wait in their «express» line to give the cashier your bottle-​worth paper so she can give you cash and then you can get in your car and go to another store buy more bottled products with a crv and repeat the whole process and this is how I will save our economy thank you very much

I dunno why not 5 stars for efficiency. It seems premature for a first visit ever to any recycling center, like I had at this one today. This might not be as good as it gets, cuz I got nothing to compare it to.
So. I did not listen to what Marisa wrote here
…haha, big mistake on my part.
I drink a crapload of Pellegrino, like a couple big bottles a day, & it seems like I pay a lot of CRV on those cases of fizzy water that I crave.
So I saved up all my empty Pellegrino bottles until I had like 7 grocery bags full. Then they were taking up an entire closet floor, so today I hauled them over to the recycling center. Those dang bags were heavy. I had to load & unload the car, of course.
I got over to Albertson’s parking lot and the place was open, yay! I noticed people with huge garbage cans full of recyclables, crikey. I thought I had a lot of bottles, but next to them my stash was puny, almost embarrassing, haha.
The attendant showed me how to feed the bottles onto a conveyor belt. I could hear breaking glass as they dropped off the other end to their destiny. That part was kinda fun.
Then just touch the green button and get a receipt that you redeem inside Albertson’s for cash or groceries.
My carload of heavy ass bottles was worth a whopping $ 4.75!!!
Jeebus Christmas.
No effin way am I doing that again.
I bought a bag of Friskies for my homeless kitties that I feed, and it cost $ 5.49. All those bottles were not even worth a small bag of cat food.
From now on all the Pellegrinos go into my blue bins in my own driveway! Marisa you were sooooooooooo right on! Pay attention to Unilocal reviews and save trouble for yourself I say!!!
