BottleDrop Express opens in Sisters
The Oregon Beverage Recycling Cooperative has expanded access to its popular green bag account program by opening a new BottleDrop Express location in Sisters.
A new BottleDrop Express is now open at Rays Food Place, 635 N. Arrowleaf Trail. This is the first BottleDrop Express site in Sisters.
BottleDrop Express locations are open from 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. every day, making them the most convenient way to redeem deposit containers. BottleDrop Express offers a secure drop door, so consumers can quickly and easily drop off bags of redeemable containers.
To use BottleDrop Express, customers simply sign up for an account at the kiosk and pick up their BottleDrop green bags inside the store. Then they can drop their full green bags through the drop door. Bags will be picked up and counted by staff and then deposits, minus a small processing fee, are credited to customers’ accounts within five business days. An average bag holds about $7 worth of deposits.
There are now 23 BottleDrop Redemption Centers and 12 Express locations around the state. New BottleDrop centers are in high demand with this year’s expansion of more containers to Oregon’s bottle deposit system.
OBRC is the industry steward of Oregon’s bottle deposit and redemption system. Its 400 employees collect containers from more than 2,500 locations and recycle more than 138 million pounds of glass, plastic, and aluminum each year.
As a not-for-profit cooperative of 108 Oregon beverage distribution companies, OBRC is committed to the responsible management and return of deposits. They return deposits only for those containers that have been purchased with a deposit in Oregon.
