Abstract: A utilization device for used, stackable receptacles, in particular cups, comprises a guide path arranged at least between a first and a second processing means for the receptacles and supporting said receptacles. Said guide path is formed substantially above a reception opening of the second processing means with a tilting device for tilting each receptacle from the guide path towards said reception opening. For simplifying the structural design of the tilting device and for making said tilting device reliable in use, it is implemented as an area of the guide path in which said guide path is provided with a tilting aperture, which is open substantially towards the reception opening and towards one side of the guide path, and with a rim guide means supporting a rim portion of the receptacle, said rim portion being arranged opposite the reception opening.
