Section 7-404 - Destruction of Two-ounce Containers

All holders of a license authorizing the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages in sealed containers of two (2) ounces or less are required to destroy, as soon as reasonably possible, (1) all empty or partially empty containers of two (2) ounces or less, (2) all other beverage containers on which the seals have been broken, and (3) the contents of any partially empty alcoholic beverage containers of two (2) ounces or less, any of which shall have accumulated upon the licensed premises either from use or from any other source.

"Destroy", in terms of two (2) ounce containers, is defined as any breaking, crushing or smashing which prevents the possible re-use of these receptacles as containers of alcoholic beverages or the disposal of all empty two (2) ounce containers, and all two (2) ounce containers with broken seals, in an outside trash receptacle each business day.

"Destroying", in terms of the remaining contents of partially empty two (2) ounce containers and containers upon which the seal has been broken, is defined as the pouring out of such contents through a sewer, disposal, or similar type system so as to prevent any possible re-use.

"As soon as reasonably possible" is defined as immediately upon use, serving, or consumption of the contents, or as frequently thereafter as the business operation permits, but, in any event, not less than once each business day.
