BottleDrop Redemption Center is a facility with machines for redeeming containers, similar to systems in other states. The process involves scanning containers with barcodes facing upwards and receiving a ticket to exchange for cash. Up to fifty squashed aluminum cans can be handled manually at the customer service counter. The location itself serves its purpose, and the facility can be clean with machines operating excellently, allowing for a quick visit. However, there are frequent long lines, both to get inside and for customer service, creating a need for upkeep and a second location. While green bags are convenient, space in the drop box is not always available. The area is noted as having issues with safety and activities related to homeless individuals, leading to calls for the city to address these concerns. At times, the carts and floor can be dirty.
Now that the POS security guard is no longer there it seems way more chill and not so much drama. He harassed more people than all the homeless combined.

Way better than it used to be. The homeless were pretty gone from the area.

Very straight forward. There were plenty of machines open. The machines functioned perfectly and I got my cash. So 5 stars 🤩 🤩 ⭐
