Recycling Glass Bottles at Eel River Resource Recovery

There are many types of Glass bottles, in all shapes and sizes and colors. Some you get money for some you don’t. Just because a product is recyclable does not mean you get paid for it. We get asked the same questions all the time, what’s the difference and how do you know if you get paid or not. First all glass bottles are recyclable. But you only get paid on the bottles that have CRV on the label. When you come to the recycling center, we are paying you back the deposit you paid when you bought the product. If you buy a bottle of water, you will see on your receipt a 5 cent or 10 cent charge for CRV depending on the size of the bottle.

CRV - which is short for California Redemption Value - is our state’s way of helping make sure beverage containers are recycled instead of thrown in the trash or left behind as litter.

It’s a fact: containers that have CRV are twice as likely to be recycled as those that don’t. And with 16.5 billion aluminum, glass and plastic containers now carrying the CRV label each year, Californians have a lot of incentive to recycle.

It all starts with a payment made to the California Department of Conservation by beverage distributors on each beverage container sold in the state. The idea here is that manufacturers have a responsibility to reduce the amount of waste their products create. This cost is passed on to the retailer and eventually reaches the consumer at the checkout stand in the form of CRV, 5 cents on containers less than 24 ounces, 10 cents on containers 24 ounces or greater.

When consumers return their empty beverage containers to certified recycling centers, they recoup the CRV. At the end of the line, the Department of Conservation repays the recycling centers out of the money that was paid in at the beginning by the beverage distributors.

Even if you don’t take your bottles and cans to a recycling center, it’s important to recycle them. Many people use curbside recycling at home and take the time to find a recycling bin when out and about. The CRV will be collected by whomever picks up the recyclable materials and can help offset the cost of collection. All of which helps keep bottles and cans out of our landfills and ensures a more beautiful, less littered California.
