#1 - Recycle
Medicine bottles larger than 3” in any dimension are recyclable (over-the-counter or prescription), providing they are not prescription VIALS (the cylindrical orange/brown medicine containers). The vials should go in the trash. They are not an acceptable type of plastic.
#2 - Reuse
Use these items for storage or crafts as long as the contents and residue can be safely removed.
#3 - Dispose
Prescription VIALS (the cylindrical orange/brown medicine containers) should go in the trash. They are made of a type of plastic that is not readily recycled and therefore does not have a market. Even if we collected them, no one would buy them to turn into new products.
