Recycling Center
In partnership with Waste Management, OCCC operates a “buy-back” Recycling Center in Irvine where the general public can redeem their bottles and cans for cash. As a non-profit organization, we then use the Recycling Center’s proceeds to enhance and support our programs.
Please note that we only buy-back“CA CRV” containers.
