Who We Help

We support companies across the beverage supply chain that need a dependable partner for commercial beverage destruction, beverage disposal, and packaging recovery. Our clients rely on us when product can no longer be sold, must be removed quickly, or needs to be documented through a controlled destruction process.

Beverage-Related Waste Shapiro Handles

Shapiro handles commercial beverage destruction for full pallets, mixed loads, warehouse overstocks, damaged freight, customer returns, quality-hold inventory, and recalled products. We work with both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages and tailor the solution to the packaging, liquid type, project volume, and turnaround requirements.

Our Beverage Destruction Process

Our beverage destruction process is designed to be straightforward, compliant, and scalable. We manage each phase from intake to final reporting so your team has a clear path from problem inventory to documented resolution.

1

Assessment & Compliance Review

We begin by reviewing the beverage type, packaging format, volume, location, and any regulatory or documentation requirements tied to the load. This allows us to recommend the right beverage destruction approach and provide a tailored quote based on your operational needs.

2

Secure Collection & Transport

Once approved, we coordinate pickup, transportation, and routing to an appropriate processing location. Our team manages the logistics with chain-of-custody controls so products are handled securely from the point of collection through final destruction or recovery.

3

Destruction, De-packaging & Recycling

Depending on the product and packaging, we carry out full beverage destruction and separate recyclable components whenever practical. Our goal is to destroy unsaleable beverages responsibly while maximizing recovery of aluminum, PET, glass, and other materials where possible.

4

Certificate of Destruction & Reporting

After processing, we provide the documentation needed to confirm the job was completed as planned. This can include a certificate of destruction, chain-of-custody records, and other reporting details that support your internal controls, compliance records, and audit files.

    Shapiro processes packaged and unpackaged beverage waste in formats such as aluminum cans, glass bottles, PET containers, HDPE packaging, cartons, kegs, drums, totes, bag-in-box systems, gaylords, and palletized loads.
