Overhaul California's Beverage Container Recycling Program

Overhaul California's Beverage Container Recycling Program To ensure our State's green future, California needs to adopt a demand-based recycling program that mandates the use of re-usable containers now!

Producer responsibility is the key. Join the fight! Under the current program, recycling centers are closing and the State cannot achieve its zero waste goals. Like other states, California has a citizen-funded beverage container deposit system which provides an incentive for the public to recycle. Upon the purchase of their favorite soda or beer, consumers pay a deposit to the store. The store re

mits the deposits to the State’s recycling fund. Since recyclables also have an intrinsic scrap value, the deposit augments the cash value for those who redeem their used beverage containers at the State’s recycling centers. If a compelling interest exists for the State to catalyze public participation in recycling, we propose an alternative to the deposit/redemption program. Among other benefits which this page will advertise, our alternative is greener and presents a more sustainable method to inflate the value of beverage containers. Supporters of this page suggest phasing-out the deposit/redemption system in favor of a demand-inspiring program by imposing minimum content requirements on manufacturers who make and sell products from recyclables.

Californians ought to be skeptical of programs relying on the public to properly sort their recyclables. Yet, effective residential recycling does call for the expansion of curbside recycling services as the City of Irvine enacted.

I don't have faith in educational campaigns aiming to train the public on how to sort their recycling.

To vocalize the general public's attitude: "Let's throw everything together and let them sort it out."

During the pandemic, since we're ordered to shelter-in-place, I don't see how one can support the drop-off model Sonoma County enacted. On the other hand, perhaps in regions with vast and sparsely populated land, the pick-up service model is unworkable. Thoughts?

CalRecycle sent Aaron Metals Company a letter declaring a recycler's ability to suspend participation in the State's CRV buyback program expires on 21 August 2020. CalRecycle's letter and my response:

06/24/2020

Governor Newsom's executive order grants redemption sites 60 more days to refrain from accepting recyclables due to the risk of spreading COVID-19. The State, of course, will continue to collect deposits. What the f**k? This is a weak-ass temporary band-aid solution. There's no way in hell we eradicate COVID-19 in 60 days! Stop collecting deposits and just end the bu****it program.

I will kill CRV.
