Prospect Bottle & Can Depot

Shortchanged by over $10 both times I went there . When I challenged the count the guys there smiled and said it was a hot day and the tip was for beers . They even gave my recycling bags to another customer untill I claimed them back . Totally dishonest and abusive from other reviews that I've read ... Just stay away from here .

I can't remember how long but could have been using them 20 years 6 or more times a year. Limited driveway space but fast throughput. Exit on a main road next to stoplight so a bit hard to get out at rush hour. Once the traffic slows vehicles let you out without much delay. There is seldom much of queue on working days. I always count and sort by type and check the 10c deposit sign is legible e.g. 2 dozen plastic bottles per bag, 4 dozen cans, crates for glass bottles. Always within a $ or so of estimate. Tell them if you want to recycle bags/crates when they unload. It can smell a bit on hot days, they ARE handling used food containers after all and not everyone cleans them.

We use this depot consistently they move the cars along as promptly as possible the staff are friendly and do all the heavy lifting for you they recycle your boxes if you want them back and have found no issues with them. I always do an approximate count and it is usually around the money I would have expected so far no issues.

I have attended this recycling centre on a number of occasions. Whenever I go, I take time to count the number of items which I am collecting deposits for. Sadly, on each occasion, the amount I have been paid is not consistent with the number of items returned. Today was the greatest disparity by far. Over 700 recyclable items and paid approximately $35.00.
In the past, I had been willing to forgive the skimming of a few dollars, but today was un-acceptable. This recycling centre also provides no receipts for transactions.
