I heard about "the place that counts with machines" but never visited. My bottles & cans have…read morealways been processed by a clerk behind a counter or one at a time by the machines at Wegmans. This time I had LOTS so I thought I'd give it a try. This business is unusual in that the business operates out of the building's side entrance. Parking is adequate, especially since the turn over rate here is surprising. I was met at the door by two very friendly employees who explained how this system works. They do everything. Just hand them the bags and stand back. The system operates so quickly that I was just barely able to keep up bringing bags in. The system is totally automated. Once the workers empty the bags into the sorting area everything is automatic. It's really amazing to watch as the bottles and cans are arranged and processed to a conveyor belt that takes them away. Everything is counted by computer. When finished, you're given a ticket that you take to a window where you are paid. Start to finish, 779 bottles and cans were processed in 6 minutes including getting paid I will never go anywhere else again.

Nickels Redemption Center has been around for awhile now, but just being around as a redemption…read morecenter isn't going to cut it - and this place offers more than just your normal redemption of can and bottles! There is always plenty of parking and it's easy to get to. Besides having the friendliest staff - they also feature the "wheel" with various amount from 5 cents up to I believe 8 cents - maybe 9 cents, plus they also add gift cards sometimes to the wheel. The way it works is that they count up all your bottles and cans and then you take a "spin" whatever the wheel lands on - that's how much you get per bottle - so you always get at least 5 cents per bottle, but sometimes you get more :) They are very organized and clean - though there is always that smell of a redemption center - it's still worth it! They even give out candy - LOL - but that's not all. They have some very interesting gifts in there too - candles and glasses made from recycled beer and pop bottles and cans - very interesting and they make great gifts for that hard to shop for person. So the next time you have a bag of returns, you are looking for a unique gift and you are the area - stop here and test out your luck!

Very rarely would I associate a bottle and can redemption with cleanliness, efficiency, and…read morewonderful customer service, but Bud's Bottle Barn has all of that and more. You can't miss this place! Located in Depew, it boasts a barn-like facade and a sizeable parking lot. Lots of spaces up front so taking your bottles and cans in is made even easier. Inside, it's eclectically decorated and full of fun knick-knacks, so you'll have plenty to look at while you wait. And the most surprising thing: it is pristinely clean! No nasty smells or gross sights. The employees here are top-notch, too. They are very kind and accommodating -- if you need any help bringing your cans in, they'll give you a hand. And they're super fast-moving as well. I could never keep the numbers straight in my head, so I give them props for being so good at mental math! If you find yourself with a bunch of bottles and cans to trade in for some nice cash, I'd highly suggest coming to Bud's Bottle Barn. You can't beat the service!

You can donate the money from the cans to charity if you'd like, they have a huge list of them they support (or you can purchase more beer, I won't judge.) Everyone here is helpful and courteous. If they're not too busy, they'll help you carry your stuff from your car to the shop. You're also recycling so you're doing awesome for the planet.

I'm…read moreglad that I had my son with me since he had been here many times before and there are no signs indicating what to do and where to go. When we drove up on the scale, it took a while for someone to come out. Since we were bringing in specialized metals, we were directed to proceed to a special area. It took a few minutes for someone to bring us the special bin we needed to put out cargo in. Sorting of the material was quick and easy. The employees were friendly and helpful but the facility seemed to be grossly understaffed. The outside space was efficiently arranged and despite the fact that it is a scrap yard it was surprisingly clean. I realize that scrapping is not for everyone but if you have junk lying about, call them and get their prices. You'll be pleasantly surprised.
