Frequently Asked Questions

What is the deposit value per container at this Salem BottleDrop?

Oregon's Bottle Bill sets the deposit at 10 cents per eligible container. Every can, glass bottle, or plastic bottle marked 'OR 10¢' that you bought in Oregon earns you 10 cents back here.

Can I drop off bags outside of the 8am–6pm staffed hours?

Yes. The secure bag drop door is available from 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM every day, so you can drop off your Green or Blue Bags even before or after the main center hours.

Do I need a BottleDrop account to redeem containers here?

No account is needed to use the reverse vending machines and receive a cash redemption slip on the spot. An account is required to use the Green Bag drop service.
