CRV Recycling

What is CRV?

CRV stands for "California Redemption Value" and is the deposit consumers pay on qualifying beverage containers when purchased at the store. State law requires recycling centers to pay CRV refunds for loads that contain only CRV beverage containers. Each beverage container being redeemed for a cash refund must have an original label indicating that it is CRV.

Plastic bottles, aluminum cans, and glass bottles labeled CRV are always accepted at our Recycling center. Refund is not paid for contamination or moisture. Bottles not containing labels will also not be accepted for the refund.
