I went to Billy’s for the first time today, and I have to say that I am pleasantly pleased. When I first walked in the establishment, looked clean and smelled slightly of bleach. The owner was very pleasant and made conversation as he counted. All in all, I had a great experience and I will continue to bring my bottles here as this seems to be the only place that is clean, friendly, and accurate with their counting.
I'm not sure what happen on this particular day.... however an hour and 15 minutes to count 23 bags of bottles seems lengthy....I'll tell you I would hate this job immensely... however a 3 hour wait is just to long !!! I feel for this guy...he may need to hire some help.
I used to take my returnables to Topsham or Cook’s corner in Brunswick but switched as the other locations were often closed or couldn’t find help. Billy’s is a great local business who’s been consistent over the years. I’d recommend checking his hours and going early. He’s busiest in the summer but you almost never have a wait in the Fall or Winter.
Excellent guy! He probably could've had me out of there in a few minutes, but with no line we chatted for over 20 minutes
He is the Best of Small Local businesses that need to be supported. Go ahead, go out of your way, it's worth your time!
