Hello, I found out our local Free Clinic will take used prescription bottles, so I’ve been saving them and will take them a bag all at one time.
My husband and I both have alot of them, so it doesn’t take long, even when I do my best to consolidate them. We also use them for crafts, coins, nails, screws and whatever else we can find to use them for.

You could look up missions on the web, or vet clinics in your area. This is not a global site, as in, I can’t say where in your community takes pill bottles. You could check Earth 911 – they can likely help.

I’m looking for some (any) medical mission that will take several hundred empty amber, green, white prescription pill bottles. For that matter, is there any contact information for vetrinary or medical folks who’ll take these bottles. I’ll pay mailing costs.

We save the caps from the Target bottles for my son’s kindergarten class to count as they’re always looking for stuff to count…we use the regular orange bottle for pins, buttons, paper clips, etc…. I found a project online for a snowman ornament…just google snowman prescription bottle ornament.

Nice pill bottles Barbara. Have you seen the pill bottles from Target? They’re slick and a totally different shape.

On my recycle page I have recycled a prescription vial, bottle cap, buttons, fabric scraps and added embelishments into my coin purse. Works really well and I get loads of comments.
