What is CRV?
10¢ each
Beverage containers labeled CRV (California
Refund Value) can be redeemed at Certified
Redemption Centers. The CRV deposit is 5¢
per container under 24 oz. and 10¢ per
container 24 oz. or more.
Most recycling centers pay by the pound if
you bring in a large load, so be sure to have
only CRV containers to get the highest
possible refund. You also can request to be
paid on a per-container basis. If you bring in
loads of fewer than 50 per material type just
ask the recycler to pay by count instead of by
weight.
