In California, about 21 billion California Refund Value (CRV) eligible containers were sold in 2013. Of those, more than 18 billion were recycled! And the 3 billion that ended up in landfills? You could use them to fill every lane of a more than 700-mile length of Interstate 5.almost a foot deep. Since 3 billion bottles and cans ended up in the landfill, nobody claimed the CRV on them.

How much CRV? More than $100 million worth! CRV refunds are available to anyone--consumers, companies, or nonprofits--who returns bottles and cans to a recycling center. By eliminating the need to manufacture new products from raw materials, recycling reduces energy use, in turn reducing carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gasses in the air.

Always such a good experience! I'm usually there and out in under a half hour, there's usually little too no wait. I feel that this place has the best prices for CRV bottles and cans. 110% recommend💚 ♻️

Usually a great spot for returns. Easy and quick in and out if you go early. Just be sure to check your receipt because I've noticed $0 on a glass return

It seems to me this place is a little shady, so normally my husband dumps the ♻️ but this time I decided to go so I can see what is going on.
What I saw is that the plastics weighed 14.5 and the cans weighed 14.0.
The person doesn't even put the stand all the way on , leaves it half off. I was surprised that the plastics weighed more than the cans because they are light !
Well this person put it on the recipient that it weighed 13.8 😆 and welp he got the cans right 14.0! So we basically got screwed over by how ever many cents/dollars. Which sucks because this means maybe my husband is

They have limited parking and limited cans. Was unable to complete my transaction as 3 other people had taken all of their available cans. Also, they need a better entrance and exit system. I was almost hit coming in.

Didn’t keep their gates open until five they advertise. closed 10 to 15 minutes early not a big deal but when you’re planning around that time frame if you’re open your open till you’re open time, otherwise you’re close at 4:50 or 445. Other than that they’ve been fine

Very convenient. It was a five minute process. If your recyclables are not sorted, you can do it there.

Apparently they're closed when it's raining.
Tried calling first but the number rang and rang and never even went to voicemail. There's a different number posted on the closed gate but it only goes to voicemail. I hope to leave a better review if I come back when they're open. Sorry guys.
Edit, went back when it wasn't raining and had a fine experience. They pay cash, but not sure if it's the highest paying place in town.

This is a hidden little spot right off the 94. The staff is great! Friendly, nice. There's hardly any wait at all. I usually go between 9 and 11am, sometimes 1 or 2 pm and seriously, I organize my recycling and I'm out of there 5 minutes after that.
