In partnership with Waste Management, the Orange County Conservation Corps operates a "buy-back" Recycling Center in Irvine where the general public can redeem their bottles and cans for cold, hard cash! As a non-profit organization, we use the Recycling Center proceeds to enhance and support programs for Orange County communities and programs that support underserved and disadvantaged young adults. We buy back only "CRV" containers.
FREE BEVERAGE CONTAINER RECYCLING PROGRAM
We come to you! Aluminium cans, plastic and glass bottles (beer, wine, soda), from businesses, parks and parkways, special events, bars and restaurants, and multi-family housing complexes.
Here's how it works:
You choose the size container your business needs.

We drop off clean containers at your location.
We pick up the full containers and replace them with clean empty containers.
We sort the recycling materials.
Then we sell the separated materials to vendors.
Profits go back to OCCC education and training programs throughout Orange County.
