Is there a bottle deposit?

We use glass Ball jars in varying sizes.

YEARLY JAR FEE FOR ALL SHAREOWNERS	3 sets of jars and rings (one in, one out, and one in use)
Quarter Share	$6/year
Half Share	$6/year
Full Share	$12/year

We RE-USE these jars and their metal lid-bands. We charge a $2 fee per jar that is not returned.

IT IS IMPERATIVE TO THE SMOOTH OPERATION OF OUR DAIRY THAT YOUR JARS ARE RETURNED EACH WEEK!

It is important that you bring the jar and metal band back every week.  If a jar is returned without it's metal ring, there will be a $1.25 fee per ring to be refunded when the ring is returned.

After the milk in each jar is consumed, wash the jar and metal band in the following way:

First, rinse it in cold water. This helps to keep milk stone from forming.
Next, wash it with soap and hot water, either in the dishwasher or by hand.
Make sure it is dry. If needed, use a clean dishtowel and wipe out any remaining drops of water.

Cover the clean jar using the metal band and some sort of material to prevent anything from getting into the jar during transport. You can use paper towel, foil, plastic wrap, re-use the foil top it came with, wax paper, napkin, etc.

We need the jars covered so that they are AS CLEAN AS POSSIBLE before we put them into our commercial-grade sanitizer machine.  (Any debris - dust, dirt, leaves, etc. - gums it up).

Bring the clean, covered jars back to the dairy or designated milk drop-off point.

IT IS IMPERATIVE TO THE SMOOTH OPERATION OF OUR DAIRY THAT YOUR JARS ARE RETURNED EACH WEEK!

PLEASE CLEAN THE JARS AND TREAT THEM AS YOU WOULD TREAT YOUR OWN KITCHEN DISHES!
