Your place is good but you need to take all aluminum, not just cans just because of their CRV value.

Questions & Answers

I am on the Nevada side, can I bring my plastic, mostly water bottles here? And how much is the price for plastic now? I used to bring it there when I lived in South Lake.

At our Beverage Buy Back center we can only accept beverage containers eligible under the state of California’s Bottle Bill (CalRecycle) if you would like more information please visit our website.

Do you accept separated bags of 1) cans, 2) bottles, and 3) paper? Do I need to separate these 3 things, or can I bring bags that contain all 3 in the same bag?

Yes, they have to be separated. I bring cans, plastic and glass. I am not sure about bringing paper here though...

Do I need a CA ID?

Yes, if you go over 100 pounds we need a valid CA ID

Is this for California residents only

Jerri Watts | Oct 31, 2020

Yes, we are a California based buyback center so we only pay back what CA residents pay in CRV. If you have out of state plates there is a limit we can accept as long the items were purchased in California.

Do I have to make an appointment for recycle buy back or can I just drive into the recycle center with my cans?

Beginning on October 13th you will no longer need an appointment.

Daily load limits of empty CRV beverage containers are 100 pounds each for aluminum and plastic, and 1,000 pounds for glass. If the load includes containers not eligible for CRV, the recycling center must either reject the load or pay only scrap value. https://www.calrecycle.ca.gov/bevcontainer/consumers/cashingin
