The Daily Breeze: Beverage Container Recycling
Filed under: Earth 911 - June 25, 2008
Q: Where in south Torrance or Hollywood Riviera, besides the Albertsons at Pacific Coast Highway and Avenue H, is there a recycling center for plastic and returnable glass bottles?
—KAY WHITE, Redondo Beach
We found a couple of options for locating recycling centers that take plastic and glass bottles with a CRV.
One is through the state Department of Conservation. The department has a toll-free beverage container recycling information line, 800-RECYCLE, and Web site, www.bottlesandcans.com. Both use ZIP codes to locate CRV redemption sites for beverage containers.
The other is through Earth 911’s toll-free phone number 800-CLEANUP and Web site, earth911.org. It also uses ZIP codes and type of item to find recycling locations.
Earth 911 compiles recycling information from a number of sources. Because hours and items collected are subject to change, you may want to call the location before dropping off recyclables.
