Dear Community Member,
IWMA is deeply concerned with the problem you face as you wrestle with California’s Redemption Value Program (CRV) center closures.  The IWMA is working hard to fix the State/CalRecycle’s failing CRV program.

Until the laws are changed, here’s how you can help: 
Call and/or email CalRecycle (the state agency in charge of beverage container recycling). CalRecycle 1-800-Recycle (732-9253)

Most Glass Bottles Are Eligible for CRV

Most glass bottles are eligible for the California Redemption Value (CRV) refund, except distilled spirits and wine bottles. Find out how to redeem beverage containers for CRV.

Recycle Only Your Empties

Dump or rinse out any leftover food or drink before recycling empty glass containers. Sticky food or liquid residue can contaminate other recyclables.

Ways to Reuse

Repurpose Empty Bottles as Vases

Empty glass bottles can make attractive vases for fresh or dried flowers.

Glass Is Infinitely Recyclable

Glass is one of the most recyclable items on the planet. It can be broken down and upcycled infinitely without losing strength, purity or quality. The glass containers used to hold food and beverages in particular are usually 100% recyclable. Recovered glass is recycled into other glass containers, fiberglass insulation, and decorative glass such as terrazzo tiles and landscaping (xeriscaping).
