Consumer Watchdog complained in 2024 that Bottlebank costs San Francisco between $1 and $1.5…read moreMillion per year. But I think the State gives money to SF. Putting it simply, the State collects our CRV money when we buy beverages. But consumers just put the recyclables in their recycling bin, or wait in line at some public recycling center. In other words, recouping their deposit is too time-consuming. So, all that CRV deposits that the consumer pays are just sitting in the State (CalRecycle's) coffers. CalRecycle now distributes money to Bottlebank. I.E., CalRecycle subsidizes Bottlebank via whatever municipality that Bottlebank operates in. The municipalities don't directly subsidize Bottlebank. Bottlebank works for me. All those can and bottles including wine and distilled spirits add up. I've earned $500.00 since September 2025. Today is May 2nd, 2026.

Man said he was going based off what was in the computer. After seeing the price difference I wanted to separate the copper to make a couple extra dollars since I had it mixed.

Words cant explain how frustrated I was. I ended up taking a loss at the end of the day and affected me mentally due to financial struggles.

I am happy to do my part in recycling responsibly.
