Recently, I went to Bottle Depot because when I went to recycle my cans and bottles I was a…read morehorrible day. Most of the machines I went down were either out of order or just plain "down" due to errors. I had tried several places. However, when I came in here, I really felt clueless and was looking for a quick turnaround. I had known about the nearby County Bottle and Can place (near the corner of Grand and Smith Streets), but by the time I would have went, they would have been closed - so I came here instead. I was looking for a place to try, and was really upping my luck by coming. But when I came in, although it seemed clean, apparently other insects were having a blast inhabiting the bin where the employees told me to dump my bottles. Much like the County Bottle and Can, employees hand-count every bottle, then give you your cash from recycling these 5 cent deposits so many people throw idly away. I'm a pro at knowing exactly which bottles have these, and it isn't rocket science to find them. I don't know what exactly was crawling around in the bin, but there was a black insect crawling around - but the employee wasn't too disturbed to notice. I had my bottles and cans in a plastic garbage bag, so when they asked me to dump them out, I heard a "clunk", and I even mentioned, "I hope my glass didn't break upon impact, but you asked me to do it." (I tried to pad the fall of the 2 glass bottles.) He stood there clueless, then started to count the bottles, sorting the glass ones into other employee-counted containers nearby next to the bin I dumped my stuff in. They are trying to social distance, but I don't believe it's working - it felt like they were still less than six feet away (I was wearing my mask - as a good New Yorker is - so it felt like less trouble than it was worth. A few moments later, he told me how many items he counted, ran some quick calculations and came over to me with the money which he took out of his drawer nearby. I don't know. While I'm sort of an avid fan of recycling at alternative places, I'm not too much of a fan of these bottle redemption places. I know it sits behind the Kentucky Fried Chicken in Kingston with it's yellow "Bottle Depot" sign out front, but the fact that there was not a single car here when I got here the other day, really makes me wonder if anyone is missing this place or if this should've showed me the sign of a really bad business - I don't know if I'll be back in (despite my 4-star review).

Only polite request I ever reecived was not to show up 5 minutes before they close with a full truck If I have anything that I am not sure about, I go with a sample and ask if they take items like that. As to the review from a few years ago about being yelled at by "rednecks", I can only say that I would have just ignored somebody like that and gone and talked to the boss in the office to tell the guy off. I think these characters are no longer there. Also, complaining about what they pay is useless. They state clearly that everything you bring to them it is just metals, so what an item cost originally or is worth is of no concern. Just ask your self why you are "recycling" ? For me it is not to make money. I don't follow the going rates for metals. I like to do good for the environment and the few bucks you get can be spent at the hot dog place next door:-) It's close to where I work and I am happy to have this place for drop off, instead of putting stuff into regular garbage.
