§ 19.638 - Disposition of stocks of liquor bottles.

When a proprietor discontinues operations, or permanently discontinues the use of a particular size or type of liquor bottle, the stocks of such bottles on hand shall either be disposed of to another person authorized to receive liquor bottles, or destroyed, including disposition for purposes which will render them unusable as bottles. However, on approval of a written application by the appropriate TTB officer of the region in which the proprietor's plant is located, liquor bottles may be otherwise disposed of.
