Adding extra steps for nothing
Save your money and your time
Go find a real recycling facility
It’ll be faster and pays better if u factor in your own time.
Waiting 30-45 seconds a can or bottle for like 10c is not worth it when there’s places that will just take it, weigh it, and pay for it with an app.
Felt like this was a giant waste of time so i could “feel” good.Show lessLeft4a1
Working Quite Well, 1 Suggestion
This has proven to be a very convenient way for me to redeem the cans and bottles for which I have paid a recycling deposit.
I have a redemption machine within walking distance and I can check its full status on the app. If it has enough space to take my cans and bottles I can schedule a walk by it. Otherwise, I can go by another day.
Today for the first time, I tried the transfer to PayPal feature, and it worked immediately.
What I would really like to be able to do is to set this particular machine as my favorite, or default, redemption machine, but so far I cannot do that it appears.Show lessTJtuner
Logging on
The first two times I had trouble logging on. I placed my phone flat against the wireless symbol but discovered that it wasn’t necessary to touch the machine, only pointing the iPhone at the symbol was sufficient. Today I discovered that the apple wallet was asking me to double click to confirm.
The machine is a great service to the public. Before I discovered Olyns I waited until I had several bags, usually several months, before hauling the lot to a recycling station, where I waited in the sun for my turn. Now I get cry back in almost real time. No more unsightly piles of cans in the back yard!Show lessN6DF
