### 5/5 — Exceptional

*2026-08-14*

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

### 5/5 — I wish I had this sooner!

*2026-07-17*

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.

### 2/5 — Always signs me out

*2026-07-15*

App always signs me out it’s annoying

### 2/5 — A good service that’s become whiny

*2026-07-06*

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.

**Developer response:** Hello Sillymama2, thanks for the review. We appreciate the constructive feedback! If you would like to avoid the app updates, access the app through our website portal on our website.

### 5/5 — Excellent Service

*2026-06-21*

Super easy to use, always correct and on time.

### 5/5 — Exceptional Service

*2026-05-20*

We are thankful for many years of bottle pick-up from SkipTheDepot. They are consistently on time. Their drivers are extremely kind and respectful. It’s a great service; where customers have their bottles picked up, recycled, and the proceeds to a charity of their choice. They also pick up other items; clothes, electronics, etc. Amazing concept!!

### 5/5 — Skip is Wonderful!!!

*2026-05-14*

I needed money for a sick pet vet visit. So I called Skip the Depot! They were quick to help me out! Friendly guys pick up my bottles and empty juice boxes, then they e transfer me the $$. Couldn’t be easier!
Such a thoughtful service!
Thanks guys!!!!

### 2/5 — Good, but needs some work

*2026-05-14*

I really like the app and the convenience it offers, but we put our business hours in (open at 11AM), and twice now they’ve scheduled the driver to come before 11. It seems there’s a disconnect from the notes and what the driver sees. I even spoke with the support team & he ensured me he’ll mark us down for that pickup time, but the driver still arrived at 9AM. I’d be happy to update my review once this is sorted !

### 5/5 — Great service

*2026-03-14*

We love this service. No more trips to the bottle depot and we donate to our preferred charity. Skip the depot saves us time and help us give back to the community.

### 5/5 — I’m impressed!

*2026-03-12*

The level of communication from SkipTheDepot is outstanding.  If they can’t make the scheduled time, they text with an update.

I love that I can also leave clothing donations.

Their app is easy to navigate too.

I would recommend 100%
