On 3/28/2025 G Sue Wilson had this to say:
I had avoided this business because I’d heard they were grumpy and not helpful. Nothing could be farther from the truth! I spoke with the owner, John, and he was great! We had a long talk about customer service and he said he was the new owner. He will make returning cans and bottles for recycling a great experience!!

FAQ

What is the Creston Redemption Center?

Creston Redemption Center is a recycling facility in Creston, Iowa, where residents and businesses can return eligible beverage containers—such as cans and bottles—for their deposit refunds. It serves the community by making recycling convenient and sustainable.

What types of containers can I redeem?

You can bring in beverage containers that are eligible under Iowa’s deposit system. This typically includes:

Aluminum cans

Plastic bottles

Glass bottles

All containers must meet the state's deposit refund requirements.

How should I prepare my containers before bringing them in?

To make your drop-off as smooth as possible, it's helpful to:

Sort your containers by type (for example, cans in one bag, plastic bottles in another, and glass in boxes)

Make sure containers are empty and reasonably clean

Bring them in manageable bags or boxes

Do you pay for each container I bring in?

Yes — you receive the full deposit value for your eligible containers. The center redeems them based on the standard deposit system, so the amount you get back depends on how many eligible bottles and cans you bring.

What if I'm a business or bar that has a lot of cans and bottles to redeem?

The center welcomes both individual and business‐scale drop‑offs. Whether you're a homeowner, a business, or a bar, you can bring in larger quantities. For very large loads, it’s a good idea to call ahead so they can prepare.
