CRV REDEMTION

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).

View a list of “Option A” dealers. https://www.calrecycle.ca.gov/Markets/RecyclingClosures/

The most efficient and effective way to lodge a complaint against a recycling center or an Option A retailer and initiate a CalRecycle inspection of that entity is by emailing your name, phone number, a brief summary of the issue, and the name and address of the subject of your complaint to: complaints@calrecycle.ca.gov.

-TEMPORARILY CLOSED- Nike Factory Store (Nike Reuse-a-Shoe) – Carlsbad

Established in the early 1990s, Nike’s Reuse-A-Shoe program collects old, worn-out athletic shoes for recycling, and along with pre-consumer shoe waste, transforms them into Nike Grind, a material used to create athletic and playground surfaces and more.

Most Nike retail stores accept shoes for recycling — we recommend contacting the store before visiting.

WHAT TYPES OF SHOES CAN I RECYCLE?

You can drop off athletic shoes of any brand for recycling. Nike’s recycling equipment is designed specifically for the material and dimensions of athletic shoes. For that reason, Nike cannot accept sandals, flip-flops, dress shoes, or boots. Nike also does not accept shoes containing metal, such as cleats or spikes.

HOW DO I KNOW IF I SHOULD DONATE OR RECYCLE MY SHOES?

To know if your shoes should be donated or recycled, use these simple guidelines:

Recycle your shoes if…

They’re full of holes or are just too trashed to wear.

The soles are worn out or the tread is gone.

If the cushioning looks crinkled, rippled or lacks support.

Donate your shoes if…

Your shoes still have life in them.

They’re still in good shape, but you no longer like them.

Post-Storm Sandbag Guidance

With rainy season approaching, residents may want to consider keeping their sandbags (filled or empty) for reuse. Generally, clean and dry sandbags can be stored out of the sunlight in a covered, above-ground location.

If used sandbags are uncontaminated, you can empty the sand and then save, repurpose or dispose of the empty bags.

If you see or suspect that your sandbags are contaminated (e.g., in contact with raw sewage, industrial chemicals, petroleum products, etc.), handle them with protective gear, including gloves and protective eyewear. Dispose of them at select landfills or through a hazardous waste contractor (as appropriate). As additional handling and paperwork will be required, please contact the landfill facility or operator in advance for more information

Do not place bags in recycle bin. Empty bags can be placed in trash cans if you choose not to reuse them. You may also take them directly to a landfill. Local landfills (Miramar, Sycamore, Otay, and Borrego Springs) can accept sandbags used for stormwater control during the recent storm.

Full sandbags should not be placed in carts or dumpsters for pick-up (due to their weight). The sand can be raked into soil or added to planters or flowerbeds as a soil amendment instead.

For questions not covered here, incorporated city residents can contact 1-800-237-BLUE or 1-800-237-2583
