Can you take your cans and bottles inside the store and recycle for exchange of a cash donation?

Actually, yes you can, new state law says that any store that sells crv items has to give you crv for any bottles or cansim telling you you can. I've done it at circle k and Chevron as well

if you get it inside before they say no are redirect the way to the cannery

No

Not that I am aware of usually we go to a recycle center. Recommendation look up which one is closest to your home.

I don't know. Call and ask them

South Pasadena has recycling in parking lot of Pavilions on Fair Oaks

Nope. There may be a recycling notice on the door. It will tell you the closest place to go
