Container Recycling Program
CRV stands for California Redemption Value. Two goals of the City's Youth CRV Beverage Container Recycling program are to increase public awareness  and encourage residents to recycle.
Many youth groups in West Covina currently participate in the City's Youth CRV Beverage Container Recycling Program. The youth groups regularly clean recycling bins, collect CRV beverage containers, keep records of the amount of material recycled, and use the redemptions from recycling beverage containers for various group activities. The following youth groups recycle in West Covina:

When West Covina consumers purchase beverages packaged in CRV containers, they are charged an additional CRV recycling fee. There is a charge of 4 cents extra per container for beverages packaged in containers less than 24 ounces and 8 cents extra per container for beverages packaged in containers that are 24 ounces or larger. Eligible beverage containers include water bottles, aluminum soda cans, juice bottles, and 2-liter soda bottles.

In addition to receiving redemptions, residents also help protect the environment by reducing wasted space at local landfills and the further search and exploitation of natural resources such as aluminum ore. According to the Container Recycling Institute, Americans failed to recycle 7.1 million tons of aluminum between 1990 and 2000. That is enough to produce 316,000 Boeing 737 airplanes. |
