Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my bottles and cans qualify for the 5-cent refund at Nickel Boxer?

Look for the New York State deposit mark (usually printed as 'NY 5¢' or similar) on the container label or bottom. Most carbonated soft drinks, water, beer, and other beverages sold in NY qualify. Milk, pure juice, and wine bottles are generally excluded. When in doubt, check the container label or call Nickel Boxer at (718) 757-4503.

Can I bring a large truckload of bottles to Nickel Boxer in Brooklyn, or is there a limit?

For very large quantities, Nickel Boxer recommends scheduling a pickup appointment rather than arriving unannounced. Contact them at irecyclenyc@gmail.com or call (718) 757-4503 to arrange a large-volume redemption or pickup.

Does Nickel Boxer accept recycling beyond bottles and cans—cardboard, electronics, or scrap metal?

No. Nickel Boxer specializes exclusively in NY State deposit container redemption. For other recyclables in Brooklyn, the NYC Department of Sanitation provides curbside collection for paper, cardboard, metal, glass, and plastic. For electronics and HHW, NYC SAFE Disposal events are scheduled throughout the year at dsny.nyc.gov.
