The only concerns I can think of are patient confidentiality and
possibly contamination from the ingredients. I routinely recycle mine
through household recyclables.

The Northeast Recycling Council's (NERC) project on the disposition of
unwanted medications includes a container disposition component on which
I'm the lead. The report will be available in the Fall.
We're compiling data on medication containers, prescription and
non-prescription, both from published sources and pilot collections. Our
research shows that medication bottles are predominantly HDPE (#2) with
amber prescription vials made of PP (#5). Amber prescription vials, in
particular, are a very consistent, homogenous stream. The few exceptions
to PP composition we found in our pilot were clear vials that contained
veterinarian, extremely old and foreign-filled prescriptions. Most
bottles are coded with the standard recycling symbols. In addition, the
amber prescription vials are also visibly-separable. I see no reason why
markets that accept HDPE and PP shouldn't accept empty medication
bottles.
I would be interested if anyone knows of any reasons, real or perceived,
that markets won't accept empty medication bottles or vials (e.g.,
contamination, purity, volume). In addition, is anyone aware of any
recyclers that specialize in these materials.

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. =3D20

[Pharmwaste] Bottles recycling and archive<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>
<DIV>I have been a very interested reader of pharmwaste and am happy
=3D that=3D20
this list exists. One question that I think was posed and =3D
possibly=3D20
answered was, "are there recyclers of medicine bottles that exist in
=3D the=3D20
U.S.?" A similar question, below, came over another national =
=3D
list and=3D20
I looked for pharmwaste archives and did not find them. Do =3D
archives=3D20
exist? Answers to these questions would be greatly =3D
appreciated.</DIV>
