Can I drive around with empty beer bottles in my car for recycling?!


Question: Can I drive around with empty beer bottles in my car for recycling?
I drink yuengling premium (reuasables) beer. These bottles are returned to the distributor for a partial refund, then sent back to yuengling, sanitized, and re-bottled. It's just a thicker darker bottle and is just overall a very good beer for the price. Is it technically illegal for me to put the empties in the back of my suv to drive them back to the distributor? What if I wash them out? Is it still technically illegal? I live in PA and there IS an open container law...but yuengling is a PA brewery so I would think they would take that into account before releasing such a product. Of course, I would have no alcohol in my system whatsoever during this transport. Any ideas on this?

wash em out and put in a recycle bag



do what moonshine runners do. if you have a fast car,great! if you dont modify it so it goes faster, i prefer the local backstreet cardealers. now that you have a fast car drive at really fast speeds, prefered around 100 miles an hour. when you do this you wont have to worry about the police because you would be going so fast they wouldnt even catch you.

Good luck!



It really shouldn't be a problem.
As one person said keep them in a black trash back, or if anything keep them at the trunk of your car or somewhere out of view.
If anything you could just explain the situation if it does become a problem. If worse comes to worse they'd probably ask you to do some field sobriety test of some sort, which should be fine for you since you'd be sober (hopefully...lol)
Good luck!



I would put them inside a trash bag and tie it shut just to be sure. But would think if they were rinsed out and in the back you should be fine, especially since the company wants them back and they're probably marked as such.



If you get a hard-nosed cop, you still risk a ticket. Keep them in the trunk to protect yourself. It would suck to get a ticket when you're being ecologically responsible.
