What do you do with the empties?

A lot of empty bottles and cans can be sold to collectors on eBay.

 

I too save for my homebrew. My bags boards are covered in labels. Looks kind of cool.

 

I wish I could say it was "M" but sadly it has eluded me. Probably the Dirty Horse and the 1968 Thomas Hardy's.

 

Recycle

 

I keep one of every beer I try. Planning on displaying them after i get done remodeling the house. I also keep 4 cases of bottles for homebrewing. The rest get recycled.

 

Recycle or use them for homebrew. However since we had a baby there's been very little time for homebrew

 

I save the labels that I like. In PA, there is no bottle return, so I recycle the bottles that I don't reuse for homebrewing. I am gradually saving up the shorter 12oz bottles (e.g. Sierra Nevada, Founders) as I prefer this size. So basically reuse and recycle. Don't think that reduce will come into the picture.

 

You must not have kids then

 

Save the label from every new beer and recycle the bottle. Everything else gets returned/recycled.

 

SN, Lagunitas, Founders, and anything 22oz or bigger get saved for reuse bottling homebrew. I love stubbies with easy to remove labels and big bottles for efficiency reasons.

 

I use this guy to turn the one's I really like into cool glasses, etc. Really easy learning curve too.

 

Try to recycle cans(Is it me but it seems like EVERY IPA and Pale I have ever had are better out of a can than the bottled version, maybe it's the style?) were I live none of the places that recycle do glass.......

 

I wait until I have a truck load and then I turn them in, get $40 and buy more beer!

 

I recycle, but if I really think the label is cool, I might leave an empty sit on the counter for a few days, like an exhibit.

 

I save my favorite bottles in whole with the plan to display them when I have the appropriate home bar. I save just the labels on many others, and am putting them on my garage beer fridge, a label mosaic. Its already starting to look pretty cool if I do say so myself.

 

I save the labels for a scrap book and recycle the bottles. If it's a can, then I take a picture, and follow suit with the recycling.

 

@Mothergoose03
I'll have to check it out and see if I can help out. It's super easy.

 

I don't try to cut bottles myself, but I read the posts when that type of thread pops up, and everyone says that the Rogue bottles are very difficult for some reason. If you've had success on those bottles, then I'd mention that too.
