It would be quite useful if certain operations on glass bottles and containers were performed at home (e.g. removing caps, corks, metals, aluminum, spouts and labels and plastic collars). These operations would make the machine cheaper to operate and extend its lifespan.

The first material placed in this hopper must be glass.

After receiving the signal that the material placed in the hopper contains no hazardous elements ― e.g. benzene and/or other flammable liquids, acids or any other sort of harmful liquids such as paints, gases, fumes, benzenes, paints, as revealed by the detectors ― and that there are no metals, etc., the material is dumped from the plate on the scales into the hopper which can contain approximately 20 large bottles.

Each time bottles are loaded, a spray of water starts up for the first wash. As soon as the hopper is full, the steel brushes start up and run for 10 seconds to vigorously remove the labels and collars. Then a second 10-second wash starts as soon as the brushes move away to allow 4 or 5 bottles pass through the opening created.

The bottles that are dropped, enter the grinder and are broken down to a dimension of approximately  3.5 cm; the pieces that fall are washed a third time and, simultaneously, the light parts are sucked up with the aid of a hot air blower.
After this operation has been completed, the lower hatch opens and the glass drops into storage. The hatch closes once more and the side hatch, fit with an electric magnet, opens. When it is fully open, the magnet is demagnetized so that all metal parts are dropped into a conveyor and sent to the ferrous materials storage container where they undergo the same process as the materials sorted by the deferrization belt. These materials are conveyed, together with the light materials, to belt number 1 to sort aluminum, while the plastics and paper from the labels are minced and sent to the wet material storage container.
