CALIFORNIA CRV

CA has a stupid law (ok, maybe it's not that stupid) where you have to pay a deposit on any recyclable items. So if you do the vons deal, it will cost around 10 dollars. BUT if you take your cans to a recycling place after you drink them they will refund your deposit. So, I just wanted to let anyone that wants to do this deal in CA they will end up paying a little more, but you will get it back if you actually put the cans and bottles in your car, drive to a recycle place, and hand them over, lame... I guess putting them in the blue bin on your drive way for the recycle man to pick up isn't good enough anymore!

Thanks for the heads up Holly!

Department of Conservation which administers the CRV program just released a report showing a dramatic increase in beverage container recycling in the state. This means more material is being recycled rather than being wasted & dumped in a landfill. We are running out of landfill space here in California and the CRV law is helping to contain the needless waste of resources
