Drop off empties and collect refunds efficiently

You bring your bottles and cans to the Ronkonkoma store during regular hours and present them at the designated redemption area. Staff verify that containers meet New York State deposit requirements, count your items, and issue your refund. The process moves quickly when containers are sorted by type and free of liquid or debris.

After redemption, you walk out with cash or store credit and no longer need to find room for bags of empties in your home or vehicle. You reclaim the deposit you paid when you purchased the beverages, reducing waste and recovering money in one visit.

The service accepts eligible containers marked with the New York State deposit label, including beer bottles, soda cans, and other qualifying beverage containers. Containers that are crushed beyond recognition, unlabeled, or out-of-state are not eligible for redemption. If you plan to return a large volume after an event, calling ahead helps the team prepare for processing. This service does not cover containers purchased outside New York or items not subject to state deposit laws.
