Don't load your car up and drive over with cans because they're not open during posted operating hours like every other can place in this worthless town.
I returned alott and they were great! They even helped us bring them from the truck to inside. 15 minutes later I walked out with over 80$... it couldn't have been easier....
Staff is very helpful and friendly. Been days wasn’t right on my metal and Devon helped me out by letting me know . I have never had a problem . Very honest and Highly recommend. Blunt
Not sure I got an acoustic count on my returns. I've bought alot of returns there and decided to check how accurate they are. Out of about 700 cans , it was short 107 . I guess I'll take them to a place, closer, easier.
I take cans back for church, and it's been a battle finding a decent place to return them, many places have very inconsistent hours so it's a flip of the coin if you show up whether they are taking them then or not. Very frustrating for what should be a simple process.
My experience with Shulman's was very good. You simply show up and bring your bags in. They do ask that the glass and 2-liter bottles be separate, everything else can be mixed (they should put this on their website). Those all get tossed into a machine that counts them (2-liters won't fit and glass would break).
I did not get the name of the guy doing it but he was very friendly and helpful. I did not know about the 2-liter thing, and he was cool about it. What probably would have taken at least an hour at the place I had previously gone to took maybe 10 minutes.
You do have to have an account to get paid (so you'll need your license) but that only takes a minute.
So going forward I'll be returning them here.
I would like to say I have 9 year old grandson who gathers 5 cent cans and we have counted and taken the cans everyplace in elmira...SHOULMANS is the only place that give an actual count. Stay off Broadway !
Weirdly restrictive on how cans and bottles get returned. I changed my name a few months ago and they wouldn't update the system. Kept talking about me getting married, even though I never said that. It was a weird and unpleasant experience and I'm going to go elsewhere where they pay more next time.
First and last visit here. I had an antique clean copper 50 gallon water boiler tank. Tried telling me they would give me light copper price of $1.50 per pound. I argued stating it was not light copper, that in fact #1 copper. Nope they said, ok well Swarthouts in Beaver Dams is paying me the correct price of $2.57 per pound. Nice try guys oh and check your scales, they seem to be off as well. But a call to weights and measures should fix that.
My boyfriend brought back cans, bottles and glass here today. We had 1616 cans all togther. They threw maybe 50 away ! Dave refused to fix it for him when he asked. I called on the phone when he got home and told me what happened. I asked to speak to the owner she wanted to know why , I explained what happened. And she already knew the guy (my bf ) I was speaking about. She said Dave Is the owner and there was no one else I could speak too. When I spoke to Dave, he turned it around on me after refusing to fix it again , and wanted my name and my boyfriends name to make it so we could not come there again. So he turned it around like we were wrong. He also claimed he was the legit owner and i couldnt speak to nobody else. I told him I knew he wasn't the owner. Then he said Steve was gone for a month. So he had already lied about who he was and so did the lady I spoke too. Obviously he was also lying about how many returns we had. I'll be contacting the actual owner about this awful man.not to mention they didn't even take his identification, they are supposed to have that , and updated. To make sure they're items that they're buying aren't stolen. They knew what they were going to do before it even happened.
