What is California Refund Value?

California Refund Value (CRV) is the amount paid by consumers at the checkout stand and paid back to consumers when they recycle eligible aluminum, plastic, glass and bi-metal beverage containers at certified recycling centers. The minimum refund value established for each type of eligible beverage container is 5 cents for each container under 24 ounces and 10 cents for each container 24 ounces or greater.

Where can I find the nearest recycling center?

There are approximately 2,000 certified recycling centers in California. To find centers near you, visit our online recycling center locator. Or, call the Department of Conservation hotline at 1-800-RECYCLE.

What other recycling options are there?

* Donate recyclables to a community service program
* Utilize available curbside recycling programs

As with certified recycling centers, these programs are operated by independent businesses, non-profits or local governments, not the State of California.
