We’re Making Progress
Californians recycle over 20 billion bottles each year.
With a 70% recycling rate, we can redeem even more to keep them from polluting our communities.
Recycling beverage containers:
- Keeps them out of our streets, rivers, oceans and landfills.
- Means fewer microplastics in our air and water.
- Conserves scarce glass and metal needed to make new containers.
Over ½ trillion beverage containers recycled!
