The Coventry hills depot has a semi automated system. It still requires staff to sort out odd containers but small stuff goes through the machine. Cant say much about accuracy but they seem fine and never that busy.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I generally never take bottles in for deposit and instead give them to various bottle drives and the like, but the bins were full so i popped into this depot. There was no line and i was in and out within 5-10 minutes. An employee sorts some of them and the machine does the rest and counts everything while also keeping a digital tally you can see and kind of guess how much you're getting back during the process. Once done you get your slip and have an automated cash dispenser scan it and release your cash and then you are on your way. Much nicer than the traditional depot, although i expected it to be a little more high-tech based on an article i read prior.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

North Hill bottle depot has the "small item" sorter that handles cans and plastic 500ml bottles just fine. Means they guy only has to manually count milk jugs, 2L bottles and tequila from my load. Efficient system, although not wildly faster than the fully manual count either. I don't much care.

I didn’t know people still recycled cans and bottles for money aside from 8 year old girls soccer teams.

Crowfoot Bottle Depot shortchanges all the time.
I can’t believe bottle deposits are still a thing anywhere with municipal recycling.
