Accumulated empties and now would like to refill with pepper corns

I took one 'sacrificial' unit and tried to disassemble, cutting and
slicing, but still haven't figured out how it's held together.

Any ideas on HOW to take one apart? refill, and put back together?

Can you just drill a hole in it and plug the hole after filling?

They're made of glass with a plastic cap.
McCormic's business model would fall apart if they could be refilled.

It's really simple, you buy one, you use it, you throw it out.

I don't use enough pepper to worry about the waste.

Followup:

Use pliers or a screwdriver.

Google for details.
