Glass recycling behind the bar

Bar staff know that empty bottles are noisy, bulky and hard to handle behind the service area. BottleCycler provides a solution which quietly reduces glass bulk by 80% and deposits the crushed glass into a sturdy Sulo 60 L compact wheelie bin for collection and recycling.

The BottleCycler unit is so quiet it can be installed behind the bar or service area for on-the-spot crushing of empty bottles. There is no double handling nor any need to sort glass types or remove corks, caps, straws or slices of lemon. The bar staff simply place the empties straight into the BottleCycler unit which can crush up to 100 bottles per minute.

BottleCycler uses the Sulo 60 L compact wheelie bin in the base of its crushing unit where it can collect up to the equivalent of 300 crushed beer stubbies. The bin has been designed and manufactured in Australia to the highest quality standards and tested in this specific hospitality application.

The BottleCycler unit eliminates the need for multiple bottle bins behind the bar and the OHS issues associated with lifting them. When full, the bin can be easily wheeled into any small storage space for collection and recycling by BottleCycler.

80% of the glass crushed in the unit is recycled. In addition, by reducing the bulk volume of empty bottles into crushed glass, it is reducing the frequency of collections. Every Sulo 60 L bin full of crushed glass is said to save 34 kg of CO₂ emissions.

The BottleCycler unit is offered as a full-service solution and has already been used behind the bar in more than 400 applications.
