Daly City E-Waste & Tire Collection Event
Recently, we hosted our biannual E-Waste & Tire Collection Event in Daly City. We collaborated with Coporate eWaste Solutions, West Coast Rubbers, and Daly City. With a team of over 25 staff and corpsmembers. We were able to collect E-Waste and Tires from over 75 different vehicles. At the event we collected 428 pounds of CRT E-Waste and 1580 pounds of Non-CRT CEWs. Thank you to our partners and teams for a successful event.

Assembly Member Phil Ting’s Team visits BottleBank™!
Summer Interns from Assembly Member Phil Ting’s (D, San Francisco) office visit the San Francisco Conservation Corps Bottle Bank Mobile Recycling Pilot location at 250 13th Street. The Interns hold up bags of California Refund Value (CRV). The bags are pre-loaded with a QR code, and once a customer has signed up for a bottle bank account and the bag is scanned, the funds are deposited in a customer’s PayPal, Venmo, or bank account within 72 hours. SFCC operates one of five pilots statewide. The project is a partnership between SFCC, the San Francisco Department for the Environment (SFE), Our Planet Recycling(OPR), and CalRecycle. Assemblymember Ting was the primary legislative sponsor of AB 1454, which created funding for the pilots. If this pilot is successful, it will look to be expanded. Since the pilot launched on January 3rd, it has processed 416,727 CRV bottles and cans and returned $22,546.25 to consumers.
Bottle Bank Mobile California Refund Value (CRV) Recycling Pilot at Stonestown Galleria Mall
The San Francisco Conservation Corps (SFCC) held a demonstration of its Bottle Bank Mobile California Refund Value (CRV) Recycling Pilot demonstration, July 15th at Stonestown Galleria Mall. SFCC is partnering with the San Francisco Department for the Environment and Our Planet Recycling on a project to return CRV funds to consumers by providing mobile drop-off locations. Consumers place their CRV materials in special blue bags that have QR codes. Once they drop off their bags, an artificial intelligence (AI) machine calculates the value of their CRV funds and deposits them within 72 hours into the consumers’ bank account. The demonstration was attended by California Assemblymember Phil Ting (D, San Francisco), who also chairs the Assembly’s Budget Committee and KQED Investigative Reporter, Monica Lam. Ting is seen here discussing the pilot with SFCC Bottle Bank Coordinator Hassan Benyouref. The pilot is scheduled to go live citywide in January 2022.
