Can and Bottle Systems, Inc., CBSI, designs, produces and sells the OneStop and CanDo reverse vending machines (RVM) for can and bottle deposit redemption and recycling at convenience stores, supermarkets, drugstores, redemption centers or convenience zone recyclers in states with bottle bills or beverage container deposits, as well as states without deposit legislation.

The CanDo is the only bulk-feed can reverse vending machine available and it has continuous bulk-feed. Cans are 60% - 75% of the containers redeemed at stores. Users pour in a bag of cans, start the CanDo, and continue to feed it bag after bag of cans, until finished. Users no longer have to feed in cans one-at-a-time as with basic RVMs.

The OneStop is ideal for smaller stores and C-stores because it accepts and processes can, plastic and glass bottles thru a single machine. No longer are three basic RVM machines necessary to do the same job. Larger stores typically mix a combination of CanDo and OneStops to handle their return volumes.

Over the years, CBSI has designed and introduced new recycling machines and recycling systems to meet retailers' and recyclers' container recycling needs. CBSI believes the OneStop and CanDo provide its customers with durable, efficient and cost effective solutions matching their individual requirements for volume processing and space limitations.

CBSI machines are computer and software controlled and expandable to take advantage of ongoing software and hardware developments, unlike basic RVM's, which use programmable logic boards.

CBSI machines have full color display monitors for out-of-home and in-store advertsing and promotion programs directly to consumers. Consumers can even select coupons immediately before they shop.
