Very Pleasant Experience

“Great Staff, Quick Service and a well managed and maintained facility. We have tried many places, and this is by far the best of its kind. The management treat and pay the staff well, so the staff are happy, and it shows. The place is also well organized, and well stocked, so staff can focus on their jobs and not walking around looking for things. The staff are also well trained, and understand what they are supposed to do. With all this in place, it makes for a very pleasant experience for the customer.”

Friendly Staff

“This is the closest depot to me, but even if it wasn’t I’d probably go a little out of my way. They work hard and fast and I’ve always found the staff very friendly. They have an option to donate your cans, which I love. And they have a sink with air hand dryers which I also appreciate.”

- Genevieve - 05/11/2020

A Pleasure to Deal With

“I've been a patron of Millwoods Bottle Depot for about 10 years. Which is saying a lot since I've lived in different parts of the city during that time. What keeps me coming back is the combination of fast service (several attendants to choose from), the transparency of their running tallies shown to you on a screen, and their strong community focus. Just a pleasure to deal with them. They've always been accommodating to our larger bulk drop offs, and the staff are genuinely friendly, which is rare amongst other depots, from what I've been told. I would proudly endorse this company for anyone looking to be impressed with each visit. Keep up the good work ;-)”

- Chris - 05/11/2020

Amazing

“The Millwoods Bottle Depot is amazing! The staff are friendly, accurate and efficient. It is the only bottle depot that I attend because the overall experience (every experience) is second to none. The staff at this location work hard and are more than happy to accommodate their customers and this is so appreciated. I wish for all the staff at this depot a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year! A big 'thank you' to all of you!”

- Angela S. - 05/11/2020

Friendly Staff and Great Service

“The best bottle depot in the city by far! Friendly staff, fast paced and great service. I have been coming here for years and won’t go anywhere else. Me and my son also love the smell of the hand soap (bubblegum I believe), so we’re always happy walking out of there with good smelling hands after.”

- Samantha - 05/11/2020

Exceptional Staff!

“I did my first bottle drive raising funds for Habitat for Humanity! The staff was exceptional! They were friendly and quick and made me feel very welcome!! I'll definitely do another one with them! Thanks for everything!”

- Jane E. - 05/11/2020

- Alix E. - 05/11/2020

The Friendliest Depot on the South Side

“This is friendliest depot on the South side by far. The people seem to actually like answering questions about recycling and will tell you what bottles you can get returns on.”

- Shane H. - 05/11/2020

Fast and Courteous Service

“My young sons and I have been coming to the Millwoods Bottle Depot for over 8 years and we have been very happy with the fast and courteous service we receive. In fact we look forward to going to this depot only as it has become a tradition for us 3 or 4 times a year and we have made a game of guessing what the outcome of the number of bottles will be and then we would go for breakfast after. When the robot was at the depot one summer it was a lot of fun to see it and how the operation works inside. Most importantly the count of the bottles from the staff has been very accurate and we are always pleased with the payout. Keep up the excellent work!”

- Michael K. - 05/11/2020

The Best Bottle Depot in the City

“This place is the best bottle depot in the city. The staff are always friendly and greet you warmly. The service is fast and accurate. They also take the time to ask how your day is going making it an overall positive experience! Merry Christmas!”

- Chayne B. - 05/11/2020

Highly Recommended

“The best place to take your bottles!! They are quick and very friendly!! They also have the screen so you can see how many bottles were counted and how much money you will get back!! Highly recommended!”

- Mark P. - 05/11/2020

No Need to Go Anywhere Else

“No need to go to any other bottle depot. Great set up, quick, efficient, and they got screens for you to watch your bottle count if you wish. Furthermore, they have draws to win stuff. What bottle depot does that? Only Millwoods Bottle Depot.”
