If they press the cider on-site, you may be able to bring your own glass container and have them fill it directly. This way you also reuse the glass before recycling it.

Hi Beth! Great idea. :-) We have two local orchards that sell cider. I'll try both. I know one already sells their apple cider vinegar in glass so it might not be too hard a sell. I'll let you know how it goes. .-= RachelM´s last blog ..Watermelon rind pickle =-.

Hi Green Grrl. Thanks for joining the challenge! I'm wondering if you would be willing to speak to your local apple cider producer about bottling in glass. You could mention that you prefer not to eat food that is packaged in plastic. You might also suggest that they offer a choice to consumers if they feel glass is too expensive. Maybe let them know some people would be willing to pay a little extra for glass? What do you say? .-= Beth Terry´s last blog ..Tapped: Even More Arguments Against Bottled Water =-.
