Title: Blue Bottles
Post by: Lauren S on October 06, 2007, 09:41:17: Does anyone know where I can obtain some of those large blue bottles they use in water dispensing machines.
I contacted several well known companies by phone, but they won't part with them even though I was willing to pay. :'(

Any body know of any, please?

Lauren

Most suppliers of water dispensing machines now use plastic
bottles. Non Returnable.
A lot of offices use them ,ive even seen a load of empties stacked
up at my local Job Center

Bill.....

No not at all, like the post above, if you ask they give you damaged ones for free.
