Yeah, the problem is that they aren't required to take them and pay you. Most recycling centers don't have that system. You have to go a long ways out of your way (for most residents), leading to the problem you described.

Yes, they are.

Oh, fun, thanks. And it has a link to the form I'm about to fill out from a recycling center who denied that. Excellent.
This page https://www2.calrecycle.ca.gov/BevContainer/InStoreRedemptio... says regular stores take them too.

And the recycling center I went to was right smack in the middle of South Bay. Not inconvenient.
