[Pharmwaste] Disposal of Medicine in Antique Bottles

[Tiemeier, Amy]

List Serve Members,

I have been contacted by a librarian from a university medical library regarding some antique bottles that they have. The bottles and prescription vials that they have are from the early 1900s and have some leftover medication in them. She was inquiring how they should dispose of the contents and whether or not those substances would need to be kept for any future use. If anyone has any input or experience with this, please let me know.

Thanks!
Amy
