Bottle Junction

Easy, easy! Just bring in your returnables and upend them on the rubber platform (leave the glass bottles in their cardboard pack), and the very pleasant staff does the the rest, sorting as they go. No feeding sticky cans/​bottles Into a grumpy machine, & you walk out with a wad of cash!
I took off one star for the front door. it’s heavy & hard to push open, especially when both arms are full of returnables. Automate it, already.

There is absolutely nothing bad to say about this place! Bring all your bottles and cans here, drop them off, get your cash. They go through all your dirty, sticky, gross bottles quickly and efficiently, no need for you to pre-​sort!

Why, oh why, would I ever touch gross, sticky, dirty bottles and cans again when this wonderful business will do my «dirty work» for me? Bring in your bags of cans and bottles (boxes for glass bottles)… Toss ‘em on the counter and let the friendly employees take care of them for you. Completely awesome!

I completely stumbled upon Bottle Junction by pure luck. I was waiting at the light near Brighton and Colvin, heading towards the grocery store to return bottles and shop when I saw the business and decided to stop in. I am so glad that I did! This place is amazing.
Forget the dirty, messy machines that constantly jam up and reject bottles at the grocery store. Forget going to other places of business and sorting your own bottles on the counter for return. Bottle Junction is an entirely different world! (How did I not know that this exists prior to this weekend?!)
When you walk in, you’re greeted by friendly staff who not only ask how your day is, but also offer to help unload totes and bags of bottles from your car. They also help you load them up on the counter in the store. Once everything is on the counter, they do all of the sorting for you! You just stand back, watch the magic happen, and wait until it’s time to collect your refund. Easy peasy!
I’m a huge fan of Bottle Junction and look forward to returning for all of my future bottle return needs. I hope that you’ll also try it out and help keep this amazing local business up and running!
