BEVERAGE CONTAINER (CRV)
Beverage Container recycling, also known as CRV, is the most common and widely known form of recycling. That being said, approximately 2/3 of all beverage containers in the United States never get recycled! To help reduce that number, the DOR provides four conveniently located recycling centers throughout the county. 

Did you know?

  • CRV stands for California Redemption Value and identifies the amount consumers pay when they purchase beverages from a retailer, and receive when they redeem the containers at a recycling center.

  • Californians bought more than 23 billion carbonated and non-carbonated CRV-eligible drinks in aluminum, glass, plastic, and bi-metal containers in 2015. More than 18.6 billion of those containers were recycled, saving natural resources, conserving energy, extending the life of our landfills, and helping to reduce emissions of harmful greenhouse gases.

For more information on CRV recycling, please contact Shawn Kemp at (559) 830.9455
