Step One

There are many types of plastics. Most plastic recycle centers accept plastics #1 and #2. Some accept plastics #3 and #6, but not all. Almost no recycling centers accept plastic #7. Call the nearest recycling center to you to see what plastics they accept.

Step Two

Go to the nearest plastic recycling center to you.

Step Three

Profit! Check the labels on your plastic! If they say California Redemption Value or California Cash Refund (or something similar), then they can be turned in for money!
