User reviews

Infeasible program

The entire program over complicates the process. Why pay for bags?!? Drop off sites have narrow windows of availability. I was also thinking that if it’s a hassle for me, it will not be useful for people that don’t have access to resources (e.g. pay for bag, cell).

SF needs to do a better job in making it more accessible and user friendly.

Need to buy bag

You have to buy their bags to recycle bottle for them. What a cheap company.

Security questions

Why does it need security questions?
None of it’s question options I can answer or remember. No other options.
Good idea wasted by poor program director.

scheme only makes “cents” during intro

A reasonably full bag typical nets $5 regardless of how many cans are in the bag. With introductory waivers you get $5, but coming soon you lose 40 cents for bag processing and 35 cents for ACH fee and supposed to pay 32.5 cents for each bag (8 bags for $2.60). So, they’ll keep over a dollar in fees of that $5 (so over 20%). That’s a steep convenience fee, but understable since news reports they’d spent $4 million to pay out $180K. The real winners are the stores that used to pay a $100 daily fine for not collecting cans, and that’s really what should be paying for the program (instead of tax payers).
