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 and
scroll down to Used Plastic Pill Bottles
link.

Hi Lucy,

research on this question. She can be reached at
lynn@nerc.org or (802) 254-3636. Questions of patient
confidentiality must also be considered.

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?"
