A reverse vending apparatus for empty containers (15), e.g., bottles or cans, comprising an inclined rotatable drum (1), a controllable driving means (20-22) for rotating the drum, a stationary unit (10) for receiving and holding a container (15), when rotated by a drum wall (12), means (13; 14, 16) on said unit (10) for detecting characteristic container features, a central control unit (24) for determining distance and direction of rotation of the drum (1), at least one open drum wall portion (3; 4; 56) to form an open bottom in said unit (10, 11), upon rotation of the drum to exit the container (15) therefrom, a guiding means (5; 6; 57; 58) positioned at said open drum wall portion, and at least one container collecting means (36; 37; 59) positioned below said unit bottom. A container destruction device (8; 9; 8, 38; 9, 39) secured to the drum wall (2) can, when the drum rotates, penetrate into said unit (10). |
