Our Services

BeverageDestruction.com brings together the full service ecosystem for beverage waste in one place, backed by Skip Shapiro Enterprises and a network of more than 200 processor facilities across North America.

Not Sure Where to Start?

Match your situation to the most relevant service path. Most programs begin with Beverage Destruction & Recycling, but the right entry point depends on what you have and what you need.
You have expired, damaged, recalled, or unsaleable beverage inventory
You have beer, wine, spirits, hard seltzers, or RTD alcohol products
You have alcohol-based or sugar-based liquid residuals that may be recoverable
You need pickup coordination, multi-site routing, truckload, or LTL support
You need support for beverage bottles, PET or packaging materials
You need a certificate of destruction, chain-of-custody records, or audit documentation

Beyond Beverage Disposal: Brand Protection and Documentation

When beverage products can no longer be sold, the decision is rarely just about disposal. Brands need to know their inventory will not re-enter market channels. Distributors need records they can produce for an audit. Alcohol producers need documentation aligned with regulatory requirements. And everyone needs the process to move without delay.

BeverageDestruction.com routes each program toward the service path that fits your specific needs — and makes sure the documentation is there at the end.

Brand Protection
Support for recalled, expired, off-spec, or unsaleable inventory that needs to be permanently removed from market channels — with records to prove it.
Documentation
Certificates of destruction, chain-of-custody records, and destruction confirmation aligned with the scope and compliance needs of your program.
Recovery
Where the material allows it — PET/plastic recycling, ethanol reclamation, liquid recovery, and packaging separation rather than straight-to-landfill disposal.
Logistics
Pickup coordination, truckload and LTL management, and multi-site routing for one-time removals, recurring programs, and urgent clearances.

More of Your Inventory Has Recovery Value Than You Think

Beverage waste programs do not have to default to disposal. Depending on the product type, packaging format, and condition of the material, a well-routed program can reduce landfill exposure while recovering real value from what would otherwise be written off entirely.

Through the Skip Shapiro Enterprises processor network, beverage destruction programs can include:
