A few quick answers

First visit? We can help.

How does a visit work?

Bring your eligible CRV containers, empty and separated by material if possible. We check eligibility, sort and weigh the material, and pay you on-site.

Can I be paid by container count?

You may request payment by count for up to 50 eligible CRV containers of each material type per transaction. Larger loads are generally paid by weight. CalRecycle explains the options.

What if I’m not sure an item qualifies?

Call or text us before your visit. We redeem eligible California CRV beverage containers; we do not accept general household recycling, cardboard, scrap metal, or electronics.

Do I need to bring ID?

Bring a valid photo ID if you expect a refund over $100. Call us with questions about a specific transaction.

What if I have a large load?

Call ahead so we can discuss your load and preparation. CRV daily load limits apply; see CalRecycle’s consumer guidance before bringing a large quantity.

Are holiday hours different?

They may be. The open/closed indicator follows our regular weekly schedule, so call or text to confirm before a holiday visit or a long drive.
