Exceptional

I hated going to the bottle depot and I disliked throwing bottles into the recycling bin. This is so easy! I have been using them for years and donating the proceeds to a local charity

I wish I had this sooner!

I’ve used SkipTheDepot for several years now and I will never (by my choice anyway) go back. Life is too busy and returning cans was time I’d just rather spend elsewhere, you know? No offence to the fine folks at the depot, don’t get me wrong, but I’m happier now and I choose to believe they get it.

Always signs me out

App always signs me out it’s annoying

A good service that’s become whiny

We’ve been using this service for more than a few years now. It wasn’t perfect: pickups frequently rescheduled, app glitches (fixed now) that sometimes caused my pickup to be canceled. But I was patient, the bottles got picked up and delivered, donation made. It was good.
But now after every pickup, I get a bright red “suggestion list” of all the things I’m suddenly doing wrong. First they were too heavy, now they’re too far (behind the gate); I should write on masking tape instead of taping on my printed labels. I should change my phone alerts and ringer so I can be there to hand the bags to the driver. This is getting ridiculous and insulting.
