A California family is accused of smuggling 178 tons of aluminum cans and profiting over $7.6 million from recycling them.

The eight family members; Maria Ermelinda Saenz Gonzalez, Francisco Balmore Amaya Saenz, Jose Raul Chica, Jose Antonio Interiano Martinez, Jose Alfredo Giron Henriquez, Victor Manuel Hernandez, Manuela Rodriguez Rizo, and Genaro Solis Fuentesare are facing charges of recycling fraud, grand theft, and conspiracy.

According to California Attorney General Rob Bonta, the family defrauded California’s beverage container recycling program of $7.6 million during the course of 8 months.

They’re accused of smuggling in cans and bottles from Arizona and recycling them in California where they receive 5 to 10 cents per item.

During the investigation, which was launched in October 2022, officials seized $1,061,499 while executing search warrants.

The family member’s bonds range from $10,000 to $30,000.
