    Recycling and Environmental Web Sites

    It pays in so many ways to recycle.  What is CRV?
    CRV stands for “California Redemption Value” and is the deposit consumers pay on beverage containers when they purchase qualifying beverages. You are entitled by way of California Law to a refund of your CRV when you redeem your empty beverage containers at a State Certified recycling center. People choosing to throw their empty beverage containers into the trash, into curbside bins, into unattended drop-off locations or people who litter are not entitled to a refund of their CRV. All rePlanet locations are State Certified offering a full refund of your CRV.
     
    The California Redemption Value (CRV) payout is:
    Containers less than 24 oz. = 5 cents
    Containers more than or equal to 24 oz. = 10 cents
