San Francisco BottleBank:
A new way to return CRV containers
A new way to return CRV containers
The BottleBank program is an innovative CRV recycling program in San Francisco that uses specially made bags with barcodes that can be linked to customer accounts. Uncrushed CRV containers in the bag are counted using cutting-edge technology, and the CRV is automatically credited into customer accounts. BottleBank is a convenient and easy way to get your CRV redemption money back.
Crushed containers are not accepted and will not be counted
per the BottleBank Terms of Service agreement.
The agreement to abide by BottleBank Terms of Service is made upon account registration.
