Coarsegold's Recycle Center
Recycling Center in Coarsegold, California
About This Location
Coarsegold's Recycle Center sits right on Highway 41 (35442 CA-41) in Coarsegold, Madera County, and is a state-certified CRV redemption site that pays cash for your empty beverage containers. Bring aluminum cans, plastic bottles and glass bottles that carry California Redemption Value and you get paid on the spot. Staff ask that aluminum cans be dry and that crushed cans be kept separate from uncrushed ones, and that plastic bottles have their lids removed or be punctured. It is a buyback center rather than a general household drop-off, and it is not open every day — the listed schedule covers Monday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, so plan your visit around those days.
