At the emptying service, the glass containers are emptied at the return location in the agreed emptying rhythm. The driver of the service provider empties the glass containers into a glass collection truck and returns them to the return location after emptying.
The service will be switched to with the existing glass containers of the return location. It is good to make sure that the return location has enough glass containers. The appropriate amount is approximately the current weekly container requirement.
Containers are rinsed once a month from spring to autumn every year. At other times, dirty containers can be exchanged through the beverage supplier. Container cleanliness is promoted by putting only intact and empty glass bottles in the container.
The service does not affect the deposit refunds paid by Palpa.
NOTE! Containers should only be labeled with a Palpa sticker if the return location returns extra or broken containers by the beverage supplier.
