Alternative uses for those Rx medicine bottles?

Question

I have 2 monthly prescriptions and have wound up with a ton of those clear yellow bottles! There aren't any pharmacies that I know of who can sterilize/reuse these, and I can't bear to keep throwing them away, (trying to live more GREEN-LY). What can I do with them?

Answer 1

Dont reuse them.   There is still a residue left inside that could come out on anything you put in them.   I used to use film containers for condiments when camping until I learned how bad it was.

Answer 2

If you know of any senior arts & crafts programs they might be able to use them.  Same thing with day camp and/or residential camp programs that have arts & crafts.  They're great for storing things like beads, needles, etc.

Answer 3

you can use them for holding paint samples.. art supplies.

Also things like buttons, screws, pins, earrings.... small things you don't want to lose.
