Attached is a pic of todays result.
Between 250 and 280 "industry standard" green glass, 750ml, Bordeaux style bottles.
I couldn't get any more in the car, as the rear suspension was starting to sag!
They come from a local winery/vineyard, that uses them in process (note, they age their product in the bottle, but the stillages full of bottles are stored in a temperature controlled warehouse), and apparently, it's not cost effective to clean/wash out, before sterilising them for finished product, so every now and then they have a load that go for recycling. I just got what I could get into the car, from the 7,500 or so that are waiting for the recycling truck!
I've now got most of them in the garden filled with a weak solution of bleach to get rid of most of the small amount of muck that was left inside from the processing.
