Can this mean- returnable/ returned articles. Even though leeggoed means empty bottles, it doesn't seem to fit in the context.

returnable
I don't believe *leeggoedartikelen* are always empty bottles. So I would say returnable. As it means that you will get money when you return the item/article

see explanation
The food retail needs a list/file of empty bottles etc., since these goods have a value and in many countries are VAT-taxed. Cashier software has to take into account sold ands returned bottles.
Warehouse software needs details regarding value and volume etc.

empties
Although empties is given in Van Dale as an informal translation of leeggoed it is often used by industry as the following shows
"Whenever a return of empties is made you or customer should fax us to our number: "
'0th 6T20 04:16 Immingham to Santon loaded iron ore tipplers 6K20 06:40 Santon
to Immingham return empties 6T22 09:03 Immingham to Santon loaded iron ore '
It should not be used in the singular unless you want to use empties return article
"Whenever a return of empties is made you or customer should fax us to our number: "
'0th 6T20 04:16 Immingham to Santon loaded iron ore tipplers 6K20 06:40 Santon
to Immingham return empties 6T22 09:03 Immingham to Santon loaded iron ore '
It should not be used in the singular unless you want to use empties return article

: Suggested as "informal" by Van Dale. I agree with them, and wouldn't therefore use " empties" in a translation for a client.

The list you mention reminds me of the population of item/article(-groups) of a till in a shop.
I guess that therefor deposit is one of the options.
