Janine R. March 31,16 I live in Leduc, AB and this was the first time I came to the calmar bottle Depot. I've been to a lot of depots and I am very happy with my first experience. The facility was clean (for a bottle depot) and organized. There were 3 men working at the time and boy were they fast. I was the only one there so they had me fill up both pools and 2 worked on my bottles at the same time. I had my 4 kids waiting for me in the van so having it done as quickly as possible scored a lot of points with me. I will definitely be back and I will recommend to all my friends!

Everyone was very kind and they offered to help with the bags since I had my newborn with me. It was extrememly clean - the cleanest bottle depot I have ever been too. The sink was tidy and they provided soap so I was able to wash my hands after tearing open bags and touching sticky bottles. It was quick a quick process and I was in and out of there which was great especially since I am use to waiting in lines for at least thirty minutes at other bottle depots. I consider myself lucky to be close to an awesome bottle depot.
Theresa H. The gentlemen at Bob's Calmar Bottle Return are friendly and courteous. They greet you upon arrival and show their appreciation for the business when I leave.
