FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our recycling services.
What is California CRV?
California Redemption Value (CRV) is a refundable deposit paid when purchasing eligible beverage containers in California. You can receive the applicable redemption value when you bring eligible containers to a certified recycling center.
How much do I get paid for recycling?
Your payment depends on the type, size, and quantity of eligible containers you bring in. California CRV redemption rates vary by container category. Bring your eligible bottles and cans to our center, and we’ll help determine your redemption value according to applicable California guidelines.
Do I need to separate my materials?
Yes, please separate your aluminum cans, plastic bottles, and glass bottles by material before bringing them in. Keeping materials separated helps make the recycling process smoother and more efficient.
What containers qualify for CRV?
Eligible containers may include aluminum beverage cans, plastic beverage bottles, glass beverage bottles, and certain wine or liquor containers. Some newer beverage packaging formats may also qualify. Look for the California CRV label on the container, or ask our team if you’re unsure about eligibility.
Do I need to remove caps or labels?
Requirements can vary depending on the container and applicable recycling guidelines. Please empty your containers before bringing them in. You can check California’s current CRV guidelines or ask our team whether caps and labels need to be removed.
Are there daily redemption limits?
California has specific rules and limits that may apply to certain container types and redemption quantities. Requirements can vary depending on the circumstances. Please contact our recycling center before bringing in a large quantity so we can help clarify the applicable guidelines.
Can I bring wine and liquor bottles?
Yes, eligible wine and liquor beverage containers may qualify for California CRV. Eligibility depends on the container type and applicable California rules. Please check for the CRV label or contact us if you’re unsure whether your containers qualify.
