County Press Releases Consumers pay California Redemption Value CRV when they purchase beverages from a retailer, and receive CRV refunds when they redeem the containers at a recycling center.
Most beverages packaged in aluminum, glass, plastic and bi-metal containers are eligible for CRV. Notable exceptions are milk, wine and distilled spirits, which are not included in the CRV program.
CRV is 5 cents for each beverage container less than 24 ounces and 10 cents for each container 24 ounces or greater. 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.
Customers may request to be paid by count for up to 50 CRV beverage containers of each material type per day: 50 glass, 50 aluminum, 50 plastic. Daily load limits of empty CRV beverage containers are pounds each for aluminum and plastic, and 1, pounds for glass. Make sure your containers are whole and free of contaminants such as dirt, excessive liquid or other foreign substances. LIVE: Rittenhouse trial resumes after testimony; expert takes stand.

Why is there a Beverage Container Recycling Program? The California Legislature enacted the Beverage Container Recycling and Litter Reduction Act in in response to the need to reduce litter and establish a beverage container recycling system in California.
The Act authorized the creation of the Division of Recycling Division within the Department of Conservation to administer these litter reduction and recycling efforts. How does the Act ensure convenient recycling? Every convenience zone that is not specifically exempted by CalRecycle must have a certified recycling center in the zone or each dealer within its boundaries that sells beverages must either redeem containers within the store or make a daily payment to the State.
How are recycling funds spent? Is the redemption value paid in stores taxable? Yes and No. In , the Board of Equalization determined the redemption value was not a deposit, but a part of the cost of the product being sold at the retail level. If the product purchased is subject to sales tax, then the redemption value applied to that product is subject to sales tax.
If the product purchased is not subject to sales tax, then the redemption value applied to that product is not subject to sales tax. Is the CRV a tax? The Legislature has declared that the redemption payment is neither a deposit nor a tax, but a regulatory fee collected for the purpose of assuring the return for recycling of a greater percentage of the beverage containers sold in the state.
Why aren't all beverages included in the recycling program? The composition of beverages included in the program is determined by statute, Section of the Public Resources Code. The following beverages sold in aluminum, glass, plastic, and bimetal containers are included in the program: Beer and other malt beverages Wine and distilled spirit coolers Vegetable juice 16 ounces or less in volume Carbonated and noncarbonated water, soda and mineral water, and similar soft drinks Carbonated and noncarbonated fruit drinks that contain any percentage of fruit juice Noncarbonated soft drinks and sport drinks Coffee and tea drinks Carbonated and noncarbonated fruit drinks The following beverages are excluded from the program: Any product sold in a container that is not aluminum, glass, plastic, or bimetal.
