In the State of California, consumers can redeem empty bottles and cans for cash. By law, you can bring up to 50 aluminum, 50 glass, 50 plastic and 50 bi-metal California Redemption Value (CRV) containers in a single visit and request to be paid by count. You will be paid the full CRV redemption of 5 cents or 10 cents, as listed on each container. See a list and a map of all the Beverage Container Recycling Centers in and around Stockton.
