 TIPS FOR RECYCLING PRESCRIPTION BOTTLES

There always seem to be an excess of empty medicine bottles in nearly every household these days. And while most of the pharmacies use #1 plastic for their bottles, some unfortunately use the types of plastic that are not recyclable.

So what can you do with all these bottles lying around your house, waiting for you to come up with some use for them? Well, here are a few tips for creative ways of recycling medicine bottles:

1. Glue several bottles together and spray-paint the creation with your favorite color. Use it as a storage system for all the tiny knick knacks on your desk.

2. Place your loose change in the prescription bottle and use in your purse, car or anywhere you may need it.

3. Consider donating clean empty bottles to vet clinics, animal shelters, free clinics or homeless shelters for reuse.

4. Make a toy for your cat or dog by putting some dry beans or rice in the bottle and closing it tight. It will roll and make the rattling noise pets enjoy.

5. Use when traveling for holding liquids, such as shampoo or lotion. These bottles are perfect since they close tight and don’t spill. Just remember to label them.

6. Use for storing small items such as buttons, beads etc.

7. Use to store plastic bags in your purse for when you may need one.

8. For the artsy types, you can use the bottles for the paint if you happen to buy it in bulk, that way you can use a small amount of paint at a time.

There are many more ways one can recycle the prescription bottles and your own creation is the limit here. However, make sure that you take off the labels and shred them so nobody will get your personal information and clean and sanitize the bottles so you can reuse them safely.
