It's a bottle depot in SE Calgary and nearest for some many communities such as Mckenzie Towne,…read moreMcKenzie Lake, Mahogany, etc. Staff are friendly but not smiley who would be counting dirty, smelly and sticky bottles. Service is quick with some vending machines, shopping carts, ok parking and self pay out which is nice. Overall avoid on weekends during mornings but overall expect to wait 10-15 minutes.

1st to say I am miffed cuz now I have to unload all of this crapola when I should've been able to…read moretake the whole maybe 2 minutes to unload all of the ready counted bagged & tagged empty recyclables!!! How stupid!! I've worked not here in Trail but other recycling gigs so I know it can be messy & time consuming therefore I take the time in the comfort of my cold drafty garage at home where I can make a couple more empties & wash my hands with my yummy smelling girly soaps & hot water!! AND the people always coming late & expecting it to be okay that they just start doing their recycling just cuz the door's open anyways NOT okay & that's where you as that stores Customer Service have the right to turn people away with some static given usually but that is life & we usually should understand,!! HOWEVER....IT IS NOT OK & JUST PLAIN SHITTY to just be closed early cuz you don't like to have to spend those few extra minutes paying out for the employees to have to "Close Shop"! Too bad, that is just tooo bad!! Today is the first time EVER in ohhh EVER that it was closed early!!?! YOU SAY WHAT??? I KNOW!! I literally live a minute & a half, ok 2 minute drive just down the street & I know they close at 4, past experience has taught me no longer 5pm, okay fine. It is usually a busy hustle bustle environment with peeps coming & going constantly & I understand that if you allow people will just keep coming & going probably all night if you don't actually close & lock the doors BUT TO HAVE DOORS & BAY DOORS DROPPED DOWN, DOORS LOCKED & CASH TILLS ALREADY CASHED OUT & SHUT DOWN BEFORE the POSTED closing time is just plain old shitty business!! The online link says OPEN - 4pm but also CLOSING SOON & it's only 3:5o or 3:55 or even 3:59 with the Main Door closed & locked & a hand written showing Store Hours with 4pm closing THAT IS SOOO NOT 4PM!! I got to the Depot, took pictures, looked at the Online info site, swore a bit, swore alot & drove off & by the time I got home it was then just 4:o2 & guess what!!? THAT IS WHEN IT IS EXCEPTABLE TO BE CLOSED because it is after 4pm!! Now i have very little to almost no gas & wasn't expecting an early closure so hopefully I don't need to get far as I won't make it so a huge eff you very much followed through with a thank you so kindly for your bullshit posted Store Hours!! I guess there's always tomorrow!! Definately NOT IMPRESSED, at ALL!! HUGE RANT OVER!! AND I did take pictures & screen shots of the time just to accredit the actual time frame & lack of a what should still be open business & my #bagged & tagged's for return...tomorrow! Someone will be lucky if they don't get this as their personal AM what not to do earful way to start their day!! (*insert middle finger here*)

I've been coming to this bottle depot for as long as I can remember…read more The staff here are usually pretty friendly and they work their asses off to get you out quick. They sort for you so all you have to do is dump your bag on the counter and away they go. The customer side of the counter is kept clean and the staff are constantly squeegeeing down the counters. The depot does have an odour of it's own, but it's not that rotten beer smell that you get at some bottle depots. I would recommend these guys any day!

I was in with three large garbage bags of cans/bottles. I was given a refund for only 86 items…read more One of these bags easily held more than that. If you use this depot, be sure to know how many items you are taking in. I won't be returning to this place. Not sure if it was dishonesty, or machine malfunction. Not acceptable in either case, and the attendant must have realized there were many more items than 86.

I saw the great reviews here for Chinook Bottle Depot and thought I'd check them out. The first thing I noticed is how quiet the machines were-no yelling to talk to the attendant. She gave me the exact amount for my bottles! And no line-ups! The second time I went, a man working there came out, brought a cart to my car, and helped me fill it up w/ my bottles. I've NEVER had this happen at any other depot. They have earned my patronage, and I will be driving the extra km to come here! Very impressed :)

The place does get busy at times, but I seldom wait more than a few minutes. The payment system (scanner) is a bit temperamental.

There is also an electronics recycling area off to the right side of the building interior, so you can often get two errands done at once,
