Regional Recycling Nanaimo - Hayes - Bottle Depot - Nanaimo, British Columbia

I'll give it 3 stars because it's clean and convenient. The staff is just over the top rude. Guy in the warehouse was so rude. Other gentleman yelled at me to put the cardboard in the bin. I get where he was coming from- shame on me for thinking he would finish up and maybe put the items in the bin for me? Nope. Yelled at me. I got back out from my car. He got in my way on purpose. You guys can do way better. That was over the top.

As a group of parents we did a fundraiser for our kids that made it on to a team for BC Summer Games. We had a fantastic experience with Lindsay, he set us up to have all the supplies needed to do the sorting in our driveway. He then came and picked it all up and was able to give us an idea of how well we did on the spot. Overall and excellent experience, would do this again in our driveway as a team fundraiser, and highly recommend Lindsay and his team!

Had a terrible experience today I had 4 trollies and had no idea that you are allowed 3. The woman at the front desk was upset that I had non alcoholic and beer bottles mixed in. (I apologize for that). She had me to take it back home to sort it again instead of just grabbing out of the bag. Then, I asked for some bags and she literally threw them at me and I was dropping them all over the floor from the money machine to the parking lot. I get they may have some rude customer, but it is not cool to be rude on somebody who is just returning bottles. They should have employees trained to be respectful and helpful than being rude. And don’t be so angry on me having a few alcoholic beverages that were mixed in with the non alcoholic cans. We all make mistakes.

Also, they should get rid of the plexiglass at the front because I can’t hear a word what they are saying to me with all the bottle noises in the background. You can’t bring the bags standing up on the trolly. Because the plexiglass is way too low.

I have used the Nanaimo Bottle Depot for years. They recycle not just bottles but many other items. The staff are very helpful. I have also been involved with a couple of fundraising bottle drives that went very well. The driver Lindsay showed up on time and took the time to explain details and answer all my questions...he was excellent!

An employee wouldn’t let me off load some cardboard from my house which was from Costco. Because I have a work vehicle with decals. Which is also my daily driver. I asked to speak to the manager and he ignored me and walked away. Do not come here if you own a business or have decals on your vehicle. Terrible service

I always get Lindsay as a driver for our recycling pick up here at our place of business. He is fantastic!! Couldn't ask for a better guy. Super personable and a great sense of humor. Hope he does our recycling for as long as I am around... Keep him. He's one of the best.

We just had a bottle drive for our kids baseball team at the Hayes Road location. Lindsay was a pleasure to work with, super helpful, great with the kids, positive and funny. The day was a success, thank you Lindsay!!
