The guy was obsessive compulsive about recycling I guess, but his intrusive nature and following me around the tiny place stressed me out so much o dropped my stuff on the floor and walked out.

You forego the usual blue trays and lay out your returns directly on the table in their respective designated spots. From there they load your returns onto mini conveyor belts, which empty out into specific bins. The staff are friendly and helpful. The place is kept relatively clean.

After I am done bring it to the counter and get my bottle recycling money back. So easy. Every time I am here, I have never once needed to wait for a table to be available. Its busy but never super busy. I also like the fact that there is free parking behind. Another thing to note the Recycling Depot entrance is located at the back and not the front. As well the front doesn't look like a recycling depot but the back is like a whole different story.

If they don't take it, they've given me advice on how to dispose of it. The place is clean and organized, and generally feels more welcoming than depots in other places I've lived. And they always seem to be open. So...no complaints at all.

I've done my fair share of bottle drives in my time and I gotta say I'm not really a fan of this…read morebottle depot location. A few reasons: + You have to go inside to sort your bottles. I much prefer sorting them outside so that way you're not trapped with that bottle depot smell. + The boxes that they give you to sort are much smaller, so you need to use more boxes to sort than normal. + The service is fairly slow in comparison to other depots I've been to. This isn't fun when you've already spent 15-20 minutes sorting your bottles and there's one person going through a huge line of people. Granted, I did come here on a Saturday morning, when it probably is a bit more busier. So it's probably not always this way. Anyway, bottle depots aren't the most glamorous of places. But do your part, recycle and get some cash back!

I have been here a few times and consistently, the staff is courteous, upbeat and friendly. For only two staff working, they are fast, efficient and organized. During the down times, I see them sanitize the countertop and check the garbage. There is also a touch free basin to wash and dry your hands. Bonus, that the return price is better than other places ! Definitely worth the trip! The only little downside is that there is limited parking in the lot, but there are lots of side street parking neary.

The worst employee here is a middle-aged Cantonese man who does not wear glasses and mostly wears a mask. He LOVES to bug customers or bring them down with discouraging words. I'm EXTREMELY tired of him. He counted my items with less value twice and did not want to pay me back the difference. Not just that, when I realized that he gave me a bit money less and informed him nicely, he even threw the money at me. Seriously, if he doesn't like his job, why even doing it? Also, this kind of employee will only bring down the company. Thus, my question is...why was he even hired in the very first place?

You simply drive straight into the parking lot and drop off your e-waste on pallets. There were a lot of random things already there like bulky TVs, monitors, etc. You might as well take any cans / bottles that you have at the same time. There's an express option if you don't have the time to wait around or if you don't want to manually count your containers. 1) Sign up for an account on their website. 2) Enter your phone number into the kiosk and print labels. 3) Stick 1 label on each bag of recycling (bags must be clear). 4) The containers will be counted for you, and the money will be direct deposited into your bank account. You can even export an excel that shows the quantities of each container that was counted. The only catch is that there is no guarantee that they will accurately count your bags. The first time I went to the Collingwood location, only 5 out of the 6 total bags were counted. I went again this weekend and tried my luck at the 2639 Kingsway location, and only 5 out of the 7 bags were counted. If contactless drop off is more of a priority to you then this would be a great option. But if you actually care about getting the accurate $ amount, the best way is to just count it all yourself.
