  • stupid registration. when u type wrong email no place to update

    stupid!
  • Concept good, execution so so

    The app is fine and you’ll need it to ensure that the machine you want is available and not full. But the frustration happens when the machine cannot recognize your valid container and you have to either repeatedly try again or just give up after it incorrectly tells you that is crushed bottle or that it cannot recognize it as a CRV despite the correct wording on the label. I’m guessing that the UPC database had not been updated. Also the machines will not accept larger containers (think like 48 oz juice bottles or larger) so that part is a big fail.

  • The method doesn’t work

    Be prepared to hunt for the empty cube and then hope that someone with hundreds of bottles doesn’t hold you for half an hour at least. Takes on average 2 weeks to find free cube and then 20 - 30 minutes to dispose of the bottles, but not all the CA CRV bottles, some the cube will not accept, so you are constantly driving with empty bottles in the car. Great idea, very poor execution.

  • Broken login & Zero support

    Was a 5 star product before today!!

    Can’t login and called support & only message was to delete & redownload new app.

    When this doesn’t solve the problem, this App & machine is USELESS.

    No one can help!!!
  • Time-consuming

    Sure having these recycling kiosks nearby is nice, but it is way too time-consuming.
  • Good opportunity to get some cash back. But need more machines

    Machines fill up pretty quickly. And the popularity seems to be increasing. Most of the times, the machine near my place is always full. Should also send a notification if the Olyns near my place is empty/full. Sometimes there’s a glitch with the machine and it won’t accept the bottle. Have to try twice or thrice. It’s happened usually with walmart water bottles.

  • Great App - Great Concept

    Super convenient to recycle while stopping in to grocery shop. Love the easy transfer of cash balance.
  • Love it

    Cashing in recyclables in the grocery store is a great idea
  • Works well

    There are a few centers convenient for me to reach. I have to check ahead of time but I can usually find a time where I need to food shop anyways.
  • Can’t sign up!

    App keeps crashing every time I try to sign up. I’ve redownloaded 8 times. No luck.
