It's better to take your recycling in then just give money more money away I already got garbage bill might as well put it towards that bill

This is the best place to turn in your recycling I've ever been to! It's a family ran business that was established many years ago, and they give the best prices around so far. I will drive out of my to go here, even if I'm in another city nearby. They get two thumbs up from me!

I have been going here for years. Stopped for a while when we were allowed the park inside because the men directing parking lot were rude and belligerent. They would scream at people for no reason, which I don't tolerate at all. Today 5/26 a woman was directing the traffic. She was proactive, came to my car, took my bag of aluminum cans and took them inside. I am so grateful. Owners have always been so kind and friendly too always going the extra mile for their customers.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

UPDATE: Due to recent changes in the global recycling process, Ranchtown (apparently) will not be participating in the purchasing of California Redemption Value (CRV) beverage cointainers any longer. 🇨🇳🚫♻️👎😒 Previous Answer: ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS MENTION TO THE CASHIER THAT YOU SAW THE COUPONS ON THEIR WEBSITE OR SHOW THEM THE WEBPAGE USING YOUR PHONE! THEY DO NOT NEED TO BE PRINTED! ...Just FYI. Anywho, to answer your question... As of July 1st, 2019, the rate that Ranch Town pays WITH MENTION OF THE COUPONS for CRV containers by weight is: ALUMINUM - $1.75 per lb. PLASTIC - $1.26 per lb. GLASS (sorted by color) - $0.10 per lb. (no coupon available) Direct link to the coupons posted on their website: https://www.ranchtownrecycling.com/coupons 🤑👍

How much do they pay for each can or bottle

Connor McMullen | Jun 26, 2022

California Redemption Value, or CRV, is a deposit that bottlers pay for some recyclable beverage containers in the state of California. Consumers benefit from bringing in these containers by receiving five cents for containers that are smaller than 24 ounces, and 10 cents for those that exceed 24 ounces

Do you require a valid I.D. to recycle aluminum cans and plastic bottles?

Jose Perez | Mar 28, 2022
Butcher John | Mar 28, 2022

Actually No. This is NOT always true. I have no ID. The law does not require you to have ID cashing in recyclables IF... you are simply cashing in CRV (cans & bottles), and the amount must not exceed $100. So if you've got only cans & bottles for CRV (check them 1st, it will be plainly marked on them somewhere and the employees know they're stuff too), and you've got under $100 worth, you're fine even without ID. If you've access to a luggage or sports/hunting/fishing scale weigh it to get an idea. cans I think are now $1.37lb and plastic bottles I forget exactly but I think around $1.30ish or so.
