Question 15

Do I need to separate my beverage containers by material type?

Accepted Answer

It would be in your best interest to have your CRV load pre-sorted before arriving at the recycling center. Generally speaking, it will save you time spent at the recycling center. Therefore, since your load will already be separated by material type the recycling center can quickly weigh your material and calculate proper payment based on the material type. And if your intent is to request payment based on count, pre-sorting will make it easier for the attendant to count your material.   Learn More at www.calrecycle.ca.gov/

Question 17

What are the rules regarding being paid on a per-container basis?

Accepted Answer

California law allows you the option of being paid based on count instead of weight for up to 100 empty beverage containers of each material type. This means you can bring your CRV load and request to receive payment on a per-container basis verses having your containers weighed. Recycling centers are required to comply with this rule, found in the California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 5, Section 2535(b), and thus pay you the full CRV redemption of 5 cents or 10 cents on each container for up to 100 containers of each material type delivered. Just be sure that you inform the site attendant of your load content and how you would like to receive payment before you hand over your load.    Learn More at www.calrecycle.ca.gov/

Question 18

Can I be paid on a per-container basis for more than 50 containers?

Accepted Answer

If you’re recycling more than 50 containers of any one material type, the decision to pay by count or weight is under the authority of the recycling center operator.   Learn More at www.calrecycle.ca.gov/

Question 19

How can kids get involved in recycling?

Accepted Answer

Kids can definitely recycle too! Put them in charge of making sure recyclables end up in the curbside bin. Or have them sort the bottles and cans consumed at your house, and give them a portion of the refunds you get at your local recycling center. One more way for kids to get in on recycling is to encourage their schools to start a recycling program. It’s a great way to raise money!   Learn More at www.calrecycle.ca.gov/
