Retailer

A business that sells beverage containers (soda, water, beer, some juice mixtures, etc.) requiring the collection of a crv charge is identified as a "dealer" under the California Bottle Bill. If you sell these products and are located in an "unserved" convenience zone you must take the necessary steps to get into compliance as mandated by the law.

Under the California law, a grocery store establishes a convenience zone. Once the convenience zone is identified all "dealers" in the zone (1/2 mile radius around the grocery store) have the same obligations to comply with the provisions of the law.

Compliance with the state recycling mandate can be achieved by:

• Establishing an independent recycling operation located on the retailer's property

• Accepting material in-store during business hours

At Nexcycle we work with retailers to help them identify whether they are in compliance with the State law. If you are located in an "unserved" convenience zone we provide solutions that will help you obtain compliance.

If you have questions regarding which beverages are covered you may go to www.calrecycle.ca.gov for the complete list. For more information about the State Law, your zone status, or regarding compliance, call (800) 969-2020 and ask for the Business Development Department.
