They are totally disgusting and all that the worst place to go to they do not know how to count at all I am so sorry for this place is going down they don't know went to give you for your money when you go to bring your cans and bottles at all 💀💀
Do not try to call them either to have them pick up your cans and bottles. You’ll be waiting the whole day away. They don’t pick up the phone after you call them and have them pick it up. Tried to call them several times and they don’t pick up the phone
As soon as we walked in the door they asked us how many cans we had… if I wanted to count my own cans I’ll go to price chopper. Not to mention the fact that me not knowing how many cans I had let them screw me outta money.
They seriously gave me $3.5 for 96 bottles when they pay 5 cents for one. I immediately thought in my head that it was 4.80 dollars, but I kept silent because I didn’t care.
BEWARE☠️☠️☠️ DANGER☠️☠️☠️
Ive been there 2 times and both times I was cheated. The 1st time I didn't count but had a good idea of how many I had and it was definitely short. The 2nd I counted and without going into detail I was ripped off and treated very UNPROFESSIONALLY . I DO NOT RECOMMEND this place. BEWARE☠️☠️☠️ DANGER☠️☠️☠️
I walked in with 700 bottles 100% that's what I had no doubt about it she counted them anyway witch wasn't the problem it was the fact they extremely rude and miss counted by 100
Technically I give them a 4.9 overall! I have been going to this redemption center for years & for the most part I always receive great service. HOWEVER there have been a few times when my service was not the best & the people working weren’t the most professional. Today, (4/3/2023) unfortunately was one of the few times.
Online it said, “closes soon” & the hours of operation has “3:30pm” as closing time today! I called while en route at 3:03pm (w/a car full of bottle bags), just to be sure since it’s a holiday weekend & the person I spoke to was not only rude, he was very short with me. I was literally 2mins away & I tried telling the guy but he didn’t care to listen. He spoke over me in a really rude tone & said “Nahhh we just closed, We close at 3pm on Sundays & hung up”!
Again…I really do like this place. Their count is always accurate & I never feel hustled if/when I have them count it there. I also like that I am usually in & out in a short amount of time. I don’t want to take my business anywhere else b’cus of one bad apple. The people are usually cool. The guy I believe is the owner as well as the guy I call “Flava Flav” are ALWAYS professional & they always treat me with kindness & most importantly they treat me with RESPECT! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this place, just call before going DONT rely on the internet!
Hopefully they read this & do something about the discrepancy in hours of operation online. I also hope that employee works in professional courtesy & phone etiquette!
Worst ever felt highly uncomfortable. I had 2 more bages, but I knew they had undercut my count so badly I left them in my car. The place reeked of Pot. Unless you bring an armed guard I would go elsewhere.
Can’t ever open on time. Staff rolls out of nights festivities upstairs or under a rock with horrible attitudes with only next crack hit in mind to give them any semblance of motivation to do their job. Awful atmosphere and service worst in tri state hands down
This place gets the job done. The workers are friendly and work hard. They do their best to get you in and out. Ive had no complaints and glad with the help I have recieved. They are doing a great job providing recycling services to the community. Recommended stop for your recycling today. There is limited parking yet it is located conveniently along the bus line.
I pulled in close to closing, after being turned away from another redemption center, with a COVID quarantine car full. Some guys helped show me where to park without having to ask. I park, get out and immediately two men come right out to help me unload, no questions asked. One gentleman wasn't even an employee of the location but a driver of the trucking company they deal with. Still without hesitation, they came to help, started a sorting line for me and made sure that my recyclables were in order. All the staff was busy but still joking around with everyone. Even other customers were immediately taken care of and laid back, not in a rush, not miserable or rude as the rest of the general public was/is. They hustle(d) but still have humility. Then even gave me (everyone) a full roll of HUGE heavy-duty clear plastic bags!Excellent experience(s).. For a redemption center you get what you get, but these guys were awesome.
And is a bottle deposit Center there really is not much else to say. It's very small so if you're nervous about being around people in the pandemic I would not recommend going there at this time. Also, it's the best practice to have all of your cans/bottles counted and cleaned before you arrive so you can just hand the staff the shopping cart of your deposits and receive your payment.
Went here on 7/27 11am and was told that they had no money. But they did say SORRY so I guess that covers the gross incompetence of opening a store so poorly prepared to do business. Take your business to a place that realizes that they make a profit on every container that they handle. Sorry costs them nothing and does you no good.
Dishonest or inept probably a combination of both!!! My 1st time there ... arrived with 7 bags (garbage bags ) of returns and was told the count was 186 !!! Horrible that in the face of recycling you can’t even in SCHENECTADY expect integrity !!!!!
