An associate of mine is clearing out an old independent Bottlers facility ( Old National Bottling Co. from Saginaw MI.) to make way for his metal stamping business,

 So, what he has is a Pallet full of of 124 cases (24/bottles per case) of New Old Stock light green 12oz. refillable Glass Bottles, as pictured.
These are Brand New, never filled, still shrink-wraped on their original pallet, I've got to find a home for these, or it's off to the land fill with them (and Yes, we've checked with recyclers in the area & no one will accept them) it would be a shame & a waste to dump these pristine bottles, and Yes they are Free shipping is up to you.

So contact your local independant bottler, this is a deal! AND he has a matching Bottle washing/refilling line to find a home for, I remember a while back, someone here told a sad story of a local/independant Pepsi refiller with a busted bottle washer that couldn't be fixed, & they'd have to shut down the line. well here is a fully functional Bottle washer, FREE!!!
Come & get it! or it too will be busted up for scrap & hauled away.Sad

(it'll wash between 6oz. up to 24oz. glass bottles) , Yes it's hugh, & YES I'll post some pictures of it tomorrow, (my digital cameras battery went dead today  '<img'> ) I've recharge the darn thing & here are the bottle pic's...

That's a shame.  I think it would be cool to have your own little "hometown" bottling operation.  Oh well, no money, space or time. '<img'>

I'm surprised that the recycler will not accept the green glass.

Nope, you have to pay them to come & get them, if it were clear glass, they'd trip over themselves to get at them, these would be perfect for a small home-town micro brewer too!  '<img'> , soda, beer, sparkling water...we'll see if someone can use them, who was it that took that trip down  to that little mall town "garage" bottlers ? they could use the filling line equipment, & the washer too!  '<img'>

I wonder if one of the small bottlers in Wisconsin would be interested in them. I will try to contact them tomorrow to see. JohnieG I sent you a pm but I am not sure it worked, so if you have contact information about these bottles that I can pass on email it to me at sodacans@sherbtel.net

That would be great vend_dr! they are already wrapped & palleted & ready to roll to there new life filling machines with happiness & fizzy joys of soda, or the adult beverages of your choice, he also has a broken (unwrapped/incomplete) pallet of some cases of these too, if you guys want them, contact me & I can UPS them to your door, shippings on you  ':<img:'>

he said he has/had some pre-mix dispensers somewhere in the building (it's a mess) I'll see what he has! wish & I could find the matching bottle caps for my collection!

who was it that took that trip down  to that little mall town "garage" bottlers ?

That was me, but they were a little bigger than a garage  '<img'> .
Actually, it was from the other good doctor (vend_dr) that I found out about them (probably the same ones he's contacting).

What's really funny Johnie is I just ran across almost the same situation in Detroit.  A friend of mine is into urban exploration and came across a vacant,small independent bottler in the hood.  Everything is still there.  Line, bottles, empty cases the whole nine yards.  Looks like it was just shut down and locked up.  The weirdest part,  I've never heard of the beverage and I've been a pop hound for a long time.  I wonder how many places like this exist just waiting to be rediscovered.
