What is “CRV ?”
There is “CRV” deposit on containers of most ready-to-drink beverages such as water, soda, beer, ice tea, etc. They should be labeled CRV, CA Redemption Value or CA Cash Refund.
Non-CRV containers should not be mixed with CRV containers. We do not pay for Non-CRV containers such as milk, wine, liquor, nutritional supplements, 100% fruit juice in containers 46 ounces or more, vegetable juice above 16 ounce (partial list). You do not pay CRV deposit on those items when you purchase them, thus we can not pay CRV back.
