They pick up the empties at the next delivery. No, they don't recycle them. They wash them out and re-use them. I put them in the few plastic bottles that I had left from before, to drink when I'm away from home. But it's still wasteful. Soon I'll be getting a high quality, highly rated $50 water filter from Sears. And a thermos. An American made one, because the plastic in the Chinese made ones leeches into the water making it taste like waste water. I get bottled water delivered in big 5 gallon jugs.
