Our Mission:

The mission of the San Lorenzo Valley Redemption & Recycling Centers (SLVRRC) is to protect the SLV watershed and Monterey Bay by reclaiming materials that would otherwise enter the waste stream.

The Lowdown on the Closedown of CRV Redemption/Recycling Centers

Recycling bottles and cans

After more than 30 years operating the three Redemption/Recycling centers in the San Lorenzo Valley, the VWC is preparing to close down the centers, effective July 1. The Ben Lomond Transfer Station will continue to provide recycling services without any redemption options. The reasons – and the answers to many questions about “Why?” and “What next?” are well-covered in the Mercury News editorial by Liza Tucker published Friday, April 12 and available online at Opinion: Californians lose big as grocers renege on bottle deposits

I urge you to read the article – please share it with family and friends! It explains the economic and political history of redemption and recycling in the State and the problems resulting from indifference, lack of support, and broken promises. Understanding where and why an interdependent system has failed will help us work to build a better one.
