What Is Bi-Metal Recycling and How Does the CRV Deposit Work?
Bi-metal cans recycling means returning eligible beverage containers so the material can be recovered instead of going to landfill. In California, eligible containers carry a CRV deposit, so customers can redeem that value after purchase.
Ivan's Recycling accepts CRV aluminum, plastic, and glass containers, and the practical process is simple: collect eligible items, keep labels visible, bring them in, and get paid after processing. The refund depends on size, material, weight, eligibility, and current posted rates.
What Bi-Metal Containers Are Accepted and in What Condition?
Containers should be empty, clean enough to handle, and easy to identify. The CA CRV label should remain visible because that mark helps confirm refund eligibility.
Crushed cans or bottles can be accepted when identification remains clear, while glass should be kept unbroken whenever possible. Sorting aluminum, plastic, and glass before arrival usually speeds up the visit.
How Much Is the Bi-Metal Refund per Pound?
The amount depends on CRV eligibility, container size, material type, weight, and the current posted center rate. California CRV is generally 5 cents for eligible containers under 24 oz and 10 cents for eligible containers 24 oz and up.
For larger loads, many materials are processed by weight, so the final payout may not look like a simple container count. Check the current posted rates before visiting when the exact amount matters.
How Does the Drop-Off and Payout Process Work for Bi-Metal Cans?
The process starts with collecting eligible CRV bi-metal cans and keeping them empty and sorted. Then visit Ivan's Recycling during listed hours and drop the materials off for checking, sorting, weighing, or counting.
After the accepted material is processed, the refund is paid according to eligibility and current rates. A visible CA CRV mark and clean sorting help the payout happen faster.
