I'm only two weeks into working Reverse Logistics as my main job, previous to that I was backroom with training as the backup for Rev. Log. so I'm starting to stumble upon these more in-depth questions that I'd appreciate some help with:
I was told by my trainer and my ETL that we do not do credits or return damaged/outdated beer and wine to the vendor, instead we defect it out and toss it. I've also been told that best practice for disposing of non-ESIM liquids is to pour them down the drain before tossing the packaging into the compactor - we pour outdated juices and leaking waters down the drain in the cleaning crew room before they go into the compactor, BUT beer and wine register as an ESIM even though they can't be disposed of via our ESIM processing. I've seen the ESIM pickup guys find a bottle of wine in a bin, pull it out, and state that they couldn't accept it.
So do I also dispose of the beer and wine the same way? I did check with my trainer, the logistics TLs and ETL and they all said as far as they know that's best practice. I just felt weird cracking open 12 beers in the cleaning crew room, even if I was just pouring them down the drain.
So for those in the know, is the no credits/returns policy I know accurate?
If so, what's your disposal policy? Just throw it into the compactor, or take the time to empty it? And if we really do empty them, where do I get a cork-screw for the corked wines?
I know this isn't a question many people will be asking, I hope someone reads this who can shed some insight - and thanks in advance!
