Simple Bottle Return

Simple Bottle Return—Connecticut's Largest Bottle and Can Redemption Center.

Since 2024

Our journey sprouted from humble beginnings back in 1982 when, at just 15, a young man started collecting bottles from a local restaurant for redemption. His vision was to provide a service to those who were overlooked by the industry, including small retailers, restaurants, fund raisers, and individuals. He recruited his father who came out of retirement to help start the business and to play an integral role in building the foundation. Since then, he has worked tirelessly to build the largest bottle and can return center in Connecticut. Incorporated in 1994, the company stands today as a testament to the young man’s vision, experience in engineering, logistics, processing, and marketing. The company services the Connecticut State Bottle Law, enacted in 1980 as a litter control law. It is the most effective producer of pure, clean plastic, aluminum, and glass for recycling.
