A viscous material recovery system allows a user to quickly and easily recover viscous material agglomerated proximate a bottom of a container and includes a collection assembly having a collection unit with a container receiving end and an oppositely disposed collection end including a collection reservoir. A recovery assembly includes a recovery unit having a sleeve with a proximal end with a proximal opening therethrough and an oppositely disposed distal end. In use, the user operatively positions the collection unit, having the container with the viscous material therein, into the recovery unit. Next, the user spins the recovery unit having the collection unit with the container operatively positioned therein along and around a circular path about 10 revolutions to about 15 revolutions such that centrifugal force causes the agglomerated viscous material to move from proximate the container bottom to proximate the container neck for transfer therethrough.
