Here is a website for pill bottle donations for use in Africa and Asia.
Can't vouch for it 100%, but thought you could take a look at it.  Go to
http://www.nazarenemissions.org/involvement/links/default.htm
<http://www.nazarenemissions.org/involvement/links/default.htm>  and
scroll down to  Used Plastic Pill Bottles <javascript:;>  =20

		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.

		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?"
