rePLANET and Davis Waste Removal are the only places in Davis where you can get money back for your recyclables.
How to redeem your recyclables
Before you come, or while you wait for your turn:
1) Separate different types of recyclables into different containers. Separate by glass color, and plastics by their numbers on the bottom of the containers. Remove any aluminum foil, steel cans, or other unacceptable items from
2) Remove all caps from bottles and containers. #1 PET containers can be recycled with their caps, but the caps must still be off so the plastic compactor can crush the containers. Labels on the containers are OK.
3) If you want, stomp on plastic bottles and cans, or use a can crusher, to compact them. This makes weighing faster, and makes otherwise bulky bags of recyclables much more manageable to store and move.
At rePLANET:
4) Wait your turn, if there are other people already there.
5) Sort/dump your recyclables into different trash bins.
6) The kiosk manager will weigh your recyclables, and then give you a voucher that can be redeemed for cash at Save-Mart only (which is not such a big deal because you're in the Save-Mart parking lot).

Highly doubtful. I called to ask about locations, and the lady told me that "we're mainly a SoCal company...". She seemed a bit surprised there's one in Davis.
