    One other thing: in CA most stores not near a recycling center are required to take them back and refund you in store.

    See https://www2.calrecycle.ca.gov/BevContainer/InStoreRedemption for the list of stores for your zip.

    I’ve done this at Walmart, Safeway, Walgreens, Sams, etc. lots of stores are on that list, and most people don’t know. Worst case, ask for a manager, they should know. Also the stores have a sign at the entrance window telling you that they take stuff for CRV. You don’t need to have bought it there.

    It’s much better than finding a place, sorting, weighing, etc
