Recyclable materials that you have at your home or work — cans, bottles, paper, cardboard and other things — belong to you. When you buy a bag of groceries, not only do you buy the contents, you buy the cans and bottles too. When those cans and bottles are empty, they’re yours.
You may choose to take your cans and bottles to a recycling buyback center and be paid for their California Redemption Value (CRV) or you may choose to put your recyclables in the blue cart from Napa Recycling & Waste Services (NRWS) and leave it at the curb for pickup. Once those materials are in the blue cart and taken to the curb, only you or NRWS have the right to remove them.
The recyclables have value, and the revenue NRWS receives from processing recyclables is taken into consideration when garbage collection rates are set.
