What Is Bottle Drop Anyway?

Simply put, bottle drop locations are places where you can bring your empty drink bottles and cans — like soda bottles, water bottles, beer cans, and more — and recycle them properly. Albany participates in New York State’s bottle deposit program, which means many of these containers come with a 5-cent refund when you return them.
So, not only are you doing something great for the environment, but you might also get a little cash back. That’s a win-win!
You’ll find bottle drop spots all over Albany — from grocery stores with self-serve kiosks to staffed recycling centers that can handle bigger loads.
