This is a great program. Please establish kiosks in San Leandro & Oakland, CA areas. Thanks.
United StatesGreat idea, terrible execution
We visited three different locations on Saturday, all showing plenty of capacity, but they all indicated “full” message when we tried to use them—yet the capacities on the app hadn’t changed. I get that these (very small) machines could fill up quickly, but the real problem is the inaccuracy of the app, which wastes a ton of time. Extremely frustrating experience.
United StatesWorks well when you get used to it
I came across this machine while walking past my local Smart & Final. Downloaded the app and started putting some of my empties in a shopping bag as I passed this machine on my daily walk First time I tried using the machine. It was a little difficult. What you have to know is not so much to open the app to start but to open, your “Wallet” and select the Olyns “card “and with that open bring your phone close to the machine so that it will sense it and ask you to insert your empty, undamaged, redeemable container into the hole. once I learned that, it has become my regular practice to put a few cans in my bag and drop them off at the nearby machine.
United StatesIt’s all right
This is a good way to make some few bucks here and there. It takes some time but it works very well. You are getting paid for every single container. You will only be considered making decent “profit” if you come to a machine with 40-50 bottles at least 2-3 times a month. The money you make is nothing significant, but really it’s just a little to make it worth the effort as not everyone wants to drive to a facility to drop off their stuff
