Subject: [Pharmwaste] Bottles recycling and archive
I have been a very interested reader of pharmwaste and am happy that
this list exists. One question that I think was posed and possibly
answered was, "are there recyclers of medicine bottles that exist in the
U.S.?" A similar question, below, came over another national list and I
looked for pharmwaste archives and did not find them. Do archives
exist? Answers to these questions would be greatly appreciated.

"Hi everybody. Here's a question from the Department of Veterans
Affairs. I looked in the JTR archives and the Hospitals for a Healthy
Environment site but didn't find anything. Thanks in advance for any
leads!

Is there a market for recycling medicine containers (e.g., pill
bottles)? If so, is there a list of companies that can recycle these
items into useful new products?"
