Woohoo ... finally a car I can afford !!!
NOT
hahaha ... SORRY that's too good to be true !
But still our topic today is about CRV ... but not the car!
I went to Smart & Final last Saturday ...
while waiting for my turn to pay ... the old lady in front of me bought
3 packs of water
the total amount of her water purchase was
MORE THAN WHAT SHE EXPECTED
so she asked the cashier for an explanation
the cashier told her ... it's because of the CRV
the lady asked the cashier to explain to her what a CRV is
and why is she paying for it
SADLY the cashier can't explain to her what CRV is
So the old lady left without purchasing the water
WHAT IS CRV ANYWAY
AND
WHY ARE WE PAYING IT?
CRV stands for California Refund Value
The Department of Conservation (a branch of the EPA that is in charge of the CRV program) defines CRV as
"the amount paid by consumers at the checkout stand
and paid back to consumers when they recycle eligible
aluminum, plastic, glass and bi-metal beverage containers
at one of California's more than 2,100 certified recycling
centers."
How much EXTRA do we have to pay?
Don't be sad over this amount
YOU WILL GET IT BACK .... IF ...
you bring those containers to the
RECYCLING CENTER
BUT ... not every container are qualified for a
refund ... only the ones marked with
CA CRV
CRV is paid on the following types of beverages:
- Carbonated and noncarbonated water
- Carbonated and noncarbonated soft drinks and sport drinks
- Coffee and tea drinks
- Beer and other malt beverages
- 100% fruit juice in containers smaller than 46 fl oz
- Milk, white or flavored
- Medical food

- 100% vegetable juice in containers more than 16 fl oz
- Products not in liquid or "ready to drink" form
- Products not intended for human consumption
- Containers not made of glass, metal, or plastic
that EXTRA CRV ...
- encourage recycling
- discourage littering
- generate revenue
