Glass Products

All glass beverage containers (excluding domestic beer bottles) should be counted and placed into a mega-bag.
Mega Bag	Mega Bag on Pallet	Full Mega Bag
The mega bag must be placed on a pallet. Pallets have to be placed on a hard surface.

Mega bags have been provided to the bottle drive coordinator to ensure that your bottle drive has the most efficient service possible. Mega bags provide a safe and hassle free way of counting and organizing all refundable glass products. The bottle drive coordinator will be provided with at least three mega bags and pallets. The bottle drive coordinator must keep a manual count of the containers in each separate mega bag; the transporters who pick up the bottle drive will require the breakdown of containers in each separate mega bag.

Example: 950 non alcoholic containers up to 1 litre, 150 non alcoholic containers over 1 litre.
Total:1100 non alcoholic containers
