bottle banks

Glass collection containers

Bottle banks are large public containers for depositing glass bottles and jars for recycling.

Common in Britain and Europe, they're typically located in car parks or near supermarkets, often color-coded by glass type: green, brown, clear.

I need to take these empties to the bottle bank.
