Customer Testimonial
"We knew before we opened that waste glass would be an issue for us as we have very little room around the bar area. Thnakfully we found out about QCR's glass crusher range and we established that their under counter model would fit perfectly in our cellar. We now crush all of our empty bottles and the time it takes to handle them is minimal. I am sure our new glass crusher will prove to be an excellent money and waste saving investment for us" - Owner of The Royal Oak Pub in Carlton, Bedfordshire
