Costco – CRV In-Store Redemption Center – Santee
This Costco accepts for recycling: Aluminum Cans (CRV),Glass Bottles (CRV), and Plastic Bottles (CRV).
CalRecycle’s website notifies Californians of local retailers who are obligated to offer CRV redemption in-store when there is no buyback center nearby.
Beverage dealers, retailers that sell CRV beverages, share an obligation to ensure convenient redemption opportunities for consumers. If a beverage dealer is located in an “unserved Convenience zone” and there is no recycling center nearby, these retailers are required to either redeem CRV material in-store (Option A), or opt to pay a fee of $100 per day (Option B).
