Red Sands Bottles and Cans

Red Sands Bottles and Cans Started in 2016 in an old one car garage, we have continued to grow and adapt to market changes.

Bottle and Can redemption center for ALL bottles and cans that were purchased in the state of Maine that you paid either a 5¢ or 15¢ on. All returnable cans and bottle must be clean with labels AND empty. We do not pay for cans and bottles with no labels or with liquids in them. Some bottles and cans bought in Maine that you paid deposit on may also not be in the bottle registry yet, and we may not be able to take those containers.

We want to get the word out that we are switching to summer hours next Monday 04/20. Celebrate if you must! Monday through Saturdays 8:00AM to 4:00PM. We may extend to 5:00PM some days. Just call and check prior to coming. And if you or someone you know likes math and wants a job, we are hiring! Seasonal for now, but could turn into year round for a motivated individual!

Time goes by too quickly! I can't believe it has been more than a month since we posted. How about this, NOW HIRING! We would love to talk with a good reliable person that we could train in a reasonable amount of time to be ready for our busy summer season. We are looking for someone that can count fast and sort at the same time. We definitely will offer the right person more than the big box for a less stress, family like atmosphere. Our employees have been with us for eleven years and five years. Poor Hunter has been with me for 25 years! Contact Hunter if you are interested. He can be reached on site at 83 Boggy Brook Rd. or 207-460-2821 or [email protected].

Yes, we are open tomorrow on President's Day! 10:00AM to 4:00PM and we will be handing out Presidential bills! (In exchange for your bottles of equal value of course) It looks like it will be a fair weather day off and a good day to get those bottles cleaned up and out after the big race today.

I was recently asked by a customer what size loads we prefer. I told him, the bigger the better! We specialize in truckloads especially when we have two people working the sorting table most of the time. Just for reference, we processed a $240.00 load on Saturday in just under an hour! We look forward to getting you in, out, and on your way as efficiently as possible!

We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Now that we are back to work, we would like to remind you there is no deposit on MILK based products. This is a milk based product. It stinks and will be going in the trash at an expense to the customer. Get them in your trash, not your bottles please.

Bring in non perishable items to help support Maine Veterans Project when you return your bottles please!
