Different than other redemption centers, Shelly’s has a convenient drive through service. Customers can wait in their vehicles while Shelly retrieves the bottles and cans and counts them immediately. Otherwise, plenty of parking is available for all other customers, and Shelly is available to help customers carry their bags inside the building.
For customers who need assistance, Shelly explained, “Just drive up and beep your horn.”
Shelly’s Redemption Center now offers bottle and can drives for groups as well as sets up residential accounts. Appointments can also be arranged in advance for customers unable to come during regular business hours.
When Forrest first decided to start the business, she felt there was a need for a redemption center in the Tioga Center community. Today, customers come from various communities in and outside of the county. Shelly’s location is also convenient for customers living in northeast Pennsylvania who purchase bottles and cans in New York. Located directly across from Interstate Auto Parts, Shelly’s is within a five-minute drive west of Owego.
