R & I Recycling Center in Bakersfield, CA is managed by CalRecycle and oversees the California Beverage Container Recycling Program (BCRP), which includes a redeemable fee for certain containers. Consumers pay a California Redemption Value (CRV) fee when purchasing beverages and receive CRV refunds when redeeming containers at a recycling center or retailer.
The center handles a wide range of recyclable materials, including beverage containers made of aluminum, glass, plastic, and bi-metal, with varying refund amounts based on container size. Additionally, recent legislative bills have expanded the program to include new beverage types and increase postconsumer plastic content standards for beverages sold in California.
