The Department of Resources
Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle) administers the Beverage Container
Recycling Program (BCRP) pursuant to California's Beverage Container Recycling
and Litter Reduction Act (Act).
SB 1013 was
approved by Governor Newsom last year making wine and distilled spirits (WDS)
subject to California Redemption Value (CRV) effective January 1, 2024. This
means when beverage dealers purchase WDS from their distributors on and after
January 1, 2024, their distributors will begin to charge dealers the applicable
CRV. Beverage dealers will also begin to charge consumers appropriate CRV on
WDS at point of sale.
SB 353 was
approved by Governor Newsom last month adding additional changes that will
impact beverage dealers regarding WDS, and 100% fruit juices and 100% vegetable
juices in large containers.
