Bend has grown and just needs another location. Not too hard to figure out.

You can only turn in 5 green bag per quarter, that means you can only have about 500 can every three months and a family have a lot more than 500 can or bottles in three months it not right that you can’t turn you and in whenever you get the bags full and if you do more than 5 your money locked up

Every time I go there I have to wait in line to do just a few small bags when everybody else has large bags and spends the whole day there either stop that build a new bottle stop for other people that don't spend the whole day there this town is growing too fast for that little spot

I have enough space 2 store about $2.00 worth of containers @ home. There needs 2 be an Express machine only 4 people with <$7.50 worth in a day. Spending 2.5 or 3 hours of my time (including transportation) to claim $2 is like sweatshop wages. There4, I have stopped redeeming containers entirely.

I tried to drop at the Redmond site. The drop opening was filled. I tried to take my green bags inside. She said no. I requested she unplug the jam in the drop off. She declined to do that also.

To allow people to protect livestock and pets. Also working with wolves in Idaho, the conservationists that was speaking on the news didn’t tell the whole truth. Do the research, in Idaho since 2000 we have had problems with them going on killing sprees and not eating what they kill. It’s not rare.

Wolves are killing machines. Destroying deer and elk populations, and now destroying ranchers livestock. They should have never been brought back to Oregon.

Wolf 158 was an outlier. ATYPICAL behavior, which you noted very briefly. Usually easy known deterrence or relocation methods work!! There is no need for a killing spree of these beautiful wild animals.

Farmers need to take other action, using horse patrol, 4 x 4 patrol, more employees. You can’t just kill everything that gets in your way.

Just the same usual amount. It's not much of a problem at Discovery Park, tho. Owners seem to have good control of their dogs.

Leash kids. They're worse than dogs.
