beverage containers

Cups and bottles

Beverage containers are vessels designed to hold drinks—bottles, cans, cups, cartons, and the like.

The term appears most often in legal and regulatory contexts, particularly in bottle deposit laws: The state requires a five-cent deposit on all beverage containers.

Recycling programs and environmental legislation use the phrase to specify which receptacles fall under their rules.
