<DIV>Hi Amy and all,</DIV>
<DIV>I would suggest inquiring to the university’s environmental health and
safety office to identify and/or suggest proper management for disposal of the
materials in the bottles. However, if possible, I would suggest trying to
save the empty bottles themselves for their historic value. </DIV>

<P><FONT color=#000000><FONT size=2><FONT face=arial,sans-serif>All universities
have environmental and safety office with trained and certified technicians to
handle chemical, radioactive and unknown environmental risk materials.
They have proper procedures to remove the bottles and dispose of them
properly. My guess is that those bottles may contain acetone, ether and
possibly mercury. Do not allow anyone to handle the bottles except those
on the campus, who are trained.</FONT></FONT></FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal>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.<o:p></o:p></P>
