Thanks to California's Bottle and Can Recycling Law, Recycling for Cash is now as close and convenient as your local Supermarket. The following Supermarket locations in Alameda County will now gladly accept and pay CASH for Glass, Plastic and Aluminum Beverage Containers!
Recyclables are accepted during all hours that stores are open for business. And unless otherwise stated on a sign posted at the store entrance, empty beverage containers can be redeemed for cash at any open cash register.
