I have often been annoyed that my drugstore chain will not reuse pill bottles. I routinely peel off the labels before I recycle them, but still, they are perfectly usable, surely they could do some good - and it turns out, they can!!!!!!!!! Pet meds, human meds, they all come in these bottles - and all can be donated!

Malawi Needs Medicine Bottles
We throw them away. They go to a landfill. After all, what can we use them for after the medicineis gone? It’s those empty medicine bottles. Still clean and new like the day they were born there should be something they can be used for.
There is! You can boil water and clean off the labels and glue and send them to Malawi. So often in the small rural hospitals medicine is dispensed into small torn pieces of newspaper for transportation to village homes. Then where to put them? Where will they be safe? Where will they be out of reach of children? Where will they stay clean?
