I don't think there are places in the city to take them. You need a car.

  If you mean San Francisco, there used to be a place next to the Castro Safeway, but apparently now there are only places down on Bayshore.

    IMO, the law needs to change. If you don't have a place to drop off bottles/cans within 3 miles, the tax should be removed from items in those areas. It is completely pointless to have an incentive that can only be achieved by driving for 45 minutes.

      I think it's much harder to claim CRV refunds, and many fewer people do so regularly, than the designers of the system anticipated.

        At this point its simply a tax. I'm pretty sure that the people who collect them from trash cans gets cents on the dollars for the cans and a middle man is making the profit on transportation of the cans.

  At a strip mall near where I live [in a city], where there is a grocery store as an anchor, the Goodwill donation truck also does bottle recycling. I'm fortunate that I am within walking distance, but I do "save up" the bottles to make the walk -- and haul -- "worth it".
