There's a dairy that delivers in parts of the midwest that uses glass bottles for their milk products. They charge a $2 deposit when you buy the milk. Pretty good milk in my opinion, though more expensive than the bulk milk, but I like supporting a local dairy, and knowing I'm not filling up a landfill lets me sleep better at night.

- klooney 4y agoStrauss family farms does that in the SF Bay Area, available at all the fancy grocery stores.
- toomuchtodo 4y agoOberweis Dairy in Northern IL does the same. I’ve been told that it gives the product a premium feel, which helps justify the price premium.
- jjtheblunt 4y agoSame in Phoenix (Danzeisen Dairy i think), and Oberweis around western suburbs of Chicago at least.
- lotsofpulp 4y agoHow does the landfill usage compare to the extra energy used to transport the greater mass of glass? And the extra energy use of the frequent stop and go of a smaller residential delivery truck moving heavy liquids and glass, and the resulting brake/tire dust.
- greedo 4y agoThey don't do residential delivery, they just supply the grocery stores.
