BottleDrop Oregon Redemption Center ,Oregon Beverage Recycling Cooperative refund amount for dropped off recycled cans/botlles was woefully less than it should have been Portland Oregon

I have been using a BottleDrop Express location for my can/bottle recycling for a couple of months now. It seemd to work well and the amounts corresponded  to the number of cans/bottles I had placed in the bags.

Lately (as in the last two times - maybe two weeks) the amount of credit reported was short - less than half of what it should have been.

I believe someone in the chain of prople handling/counting the bags is skimming and hoping that no one will notice. If they had just stolen the whole bag, there would be no balance at all.

I called the number for BottleDrop and the person with whom I spoke seemed not to be overly surprised by my complaint and readily agreed to increase the credit to match the average of previous credits. This is NOT a solution and I mentioned to her that, in the future (today, for instance), I would count the bptlles/cans myself to check the accuracy of the credit amount. I got the name of the person who "monitors" this sort of stuff at BottleDrop (Claire) and will be all over this if it happens again.

We'll see.....
