When you need to visit your local bottle depot to return your empty drink containers, it’s handy to find a location that havehours that work in your schedule. You also want to find one that offers themaximum returned refund fees. The amount that is collected from you is exactlywhat should be returned to you, without any amount being removed or deductedand no fees should be charged to process your order.
While there are a few bottle depots that will not, most should follow the standard rates that are charged so that you get thefull amount back. With most bottle depots in Monterey Park offering the basic,standard rates, the biggest differentiator will likely be their hours ofoperation. There’s nothing worse than having drink containers pile up and findingout the bottle depot is not open when you are available to go.
So what are the refund amounts you should getback for your bottles, cans and packs?
There is no difference in refund amount ordeposit collected based on the material of the container, it is fully based onthe size or capacity of the container. If it is one litre or under, you willget back ten cents. If it is over one litre you will get back 25 cents.
If you go into a new bottle depot, they will havea sign posted to show how much you get back per container based on it’scapacity. If you see anything less than these rates, we would recommend leavingbecause there will be another bottle depot in Monterey Park that will give youthe full amount of the deposit you paid back.
As for hours, you want to choose a bottle depot location that has good hours for your schedule. That said, you’re unlikely tofind one that is open overnight or long hours on a Sunday so you will have tobe reasonable on what you’re looking for.
