There's only enough room for two people to be taken care of at a time and it's quite small in there. The whole entire place smells like stale beer so that's kind of nasty and the employees didn't seem to speak English, but getting six cents per bottle and it was pretty nice. If you're bringing in a lot of empties, that extra penny makes it nice difference. They took care of me pretty fast. They don't take their time in there. They get the job done. There are carts inside they can bring outside to grab all your empties and then bring them in. If I'm coming down in that area again, I will definitely grab my empties again and bring them down.

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!

I've been here twice and both times the employee I interacted with was friendly and helpful…read more How it works: There are two machines, one takes plastic and cans, the other takes plastic, cans and glass. The machines allow you to dump recyclables in which is nice, but every time I've been, there's been a line of people with a gazillion recyclables. The machines aren't perfect either, and sometimes they reject things that are worth 5 cents so you have to bring those to get manually counted. There's also people who try to recycle things that obviously don't have a deposit (milk jugs, Gatorade bottles), so this also slows down the line. Tip: I recommend bringing someone with you to help unload your car and load the machines because there are no carts.

But the SLOOOOOONESSSS and the lack of MASK requirement in these Covid ripe times? Yeah. Not worth it. Sad. Was an easy place to drop off bottles. Now? Not so much. Update 152 2021

Came here to return quite a few cans, as soon as…read morei even walked through the door, the young man behind the counter was not welcoming at all and in fact rather rude and had an attitude problem stating that they close soon. In the middle of me unloading my cans into the machine he disables the machine and kicks me out saying we're closed, talking aggressively being an asshole for no reason. I never came off ignorant or disrespectful. I advise people to stay away from a business who VERY POORLY treats the customers willing to support them. STAY AWAY, and if the owners read this, I hope this employee has a short stay because I hope nobody else is treated that way.

I asked the employee, is this machine being used, he snapped back, Yes it's being used with a pissed off look on his face! I then asked is the other machine with the boxes stacked on top of it working, he again snapped very rudely, NO with the same pissed off look! I've been going to this recycling center since it opened and never had an issue until I had the misfortune of encountering this employee and his BAD attitude. If you don't like your job, get another one. Don't subject patrons to your attitude because you're miserable. I'll be taking my recycling to another center from now on.

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.

This place is amazing. Forget the dirty, messy machines that constantly jam up and reject bottles at the grocery store. Forget going to other places of business and sorting your own bottles on the counter for return. Bottle Junction is an entirely different world! (How did I not know that this exists prior to this weekend?!) When you walk in, you're greeted by friendly staff who not only ask how your day is, but also offer to help unload totes and bags of bottles from your car. They also help you load them up on the counter in the store. Once everything is on the counter, they do all of the sorting for you! You just stand back, watch the magic happen, and wait until it's time to collect your refund. Easy peasy! I'm a huge fan of Bottle Junction and look forward to returning for all of my future bottle return needs. I hope that you'll also try it out and help keep this amazing local business up and running!
