Accrue Savings’ Post

$600 million left unclaimed. I thought I knew the value of a dollar. Turns out, I was wrong. In California, we're leaving over $600 million in CRV fees on the table. Yes, you heard it right. That's our money, paid upfront, and simply forgotten. It's not just about recycling or being eco-friendly. It's about not letting our hard-earned money slip through the cracks. I was one of those who thought, It's just a few cents, what difference does it make? But when those cents turn into millions, it's not just pocket change anymore. Let's stop ignoring this. Start collecting. Start claiming what's rightfully yours. Your move. Will you let your money go to waste, or will you take a stand and claim it back?

How do you measure success? As a credit union, we’re about people, not profits. So, we measure success by our impact — on our members and partners, and in North Carolina communities. Last year, we did a deeper dive and found that our impact has both breadth and depth across the state. That means we’re living our mission to improve lives. It means that our values of people first, planet always and prosperity for all are reaching more neighbors than ever. And it means that we’re putting members’ money to good use, while using it for good. See our 2023 Impact Report to learn more about the work we do. CivicImpacts.org

$600 million left unclaimed. Let that sink in. I thought I knew the value of a dollar. Turns out, I was wrong. In California, we're leaving over $600 million in CRV fees on the table. These are fees we've already paid upfront. Money that's ours, but we're not claiming it back. Why? Perhaps it's a lack of awareness, or maybe it's perceived as too much effort. But think about it – this is a significant amount of money that could be fueling our economy, supporting recycling efforts, or simply back in our pockets. We pride ourselves on being savvy, on chasing opportunities. Yet here's an opportunity, glaring us in the face, and we walk past it every day. It's time to change that. Start claiming what's rightfully yours. Educate yourself on how to get your CRV fees back. It's a small step that can make a big difference. Take action. Don't leave money on the table.
