Aluminum Cans Question - Page 2

Here is how you can legally return CRV deposit cans and bottles if you live out of state and are visiting California.

OUT-OF-STATE VEHICLES In order to accommodate tourists and out-of-state residents who shop and purchase their beverages in California, recyclers may pay refund value to customers delivering a load of material in a vehicle with an out-of-state license plate, provided that person is not a noncertified recycler, and the total refund value payable is $50.00 or less. If these conditions are not satisfied, NO REFUND VALUE IS PAYABLE. You must consider the refund value paid for ALL materials purchased from the same customer. Add up the refund value for ALL material types (aluminum, glass, plastic by resin type, and bimetal) to ensure that the refund value is $50.00 or less. It is the recycler's responsibility to inspect the containers thoroughly.

Also new rates per pound for items
$1.06 a pound for plastic CRV
$1.58 a pound for Alum Cans
$0.104 for Glass CRV

Still may be better to get your $.05 and $.10 per can / bottle but getting closer with the new rates...
