RE: Selling Empty Prescription Bottles
I am not aware that you could sell them but you can certainly donate them. I wait till I have a goodly amount saved up and take to a local animal hospital. They are awfully glad to get them and save on having to buy them to dispense meds for pets. I always keep a few on hand for my own purposes too.

I like the idea of making sewing kits for homeless shelters.

RE: Selling Empty Prescription Bottles
I pitch the caps of mine and put one mothball in each bottle. I set one prescription bottle in each bucket (on the top) of my birdseed. Seal the bucket. Have been doing this for years, kills the seed moths if seed is on hand too long, have never had a problem with feeding this seed to my birds. I know someone will freak out and write not to do this, but it works for me.

I pull the labels off mine and when I have collected 10 or mare I take them to my local vet. He is always glad to get them for helping cut the cost of meds for our animals.

You can cut the top and bottom off and make rings out of them, not for your finger, but rings to make mobiles or ornaments for a Christmas tree. Just glue little birds or something inside the rings after you spray them gold or silver, Add a hanger and hang them on the tree. You can probably think of a lot of uses for the rings or squares in some cases.

RE: Selling Empty Prescription Bottles
I don't think you can sell them. I use 8 prescriptions a month & my husband uses 4. I saved for a couple of years until I had a couple of boxes of them. I couldn't see throwing them out either. Finally, I found a few churches who would take them for their kids' religious classes. The kids can make snowmen out of them. I found the idea on Crafts.com, copied it & took it to each of the churches with about 100 bottles each. Also, there are homeless shelters that will take them. They put items like buttons, thread in them to give to the homeless as little sewing kits. Check with your local churches & shelters.

I too have been looking for a "taker" for my prescription bottles. I have about 6 per month, which adds up. I can't stand the idea of these going into the landfill, but pharmacies don't take them. I know you can't sell them, but isn't there somebody who can use a lot of them for some purpose?

You can recycle them. Take them to your pharmacy and drop them off. Or you can recycle them for your own purposes, like buttons or bead.

RE: Selling Empty Prescription Bottles
You may be able to recycle them, but you won't be able to sell them. They can't be re-used for other medications. Pills tend to leave a bit of themselves in the bottle and combining that drug with another could be dangerous. Washing them out and using them for crafts etc may be a way to go as well. Whatever you do don't forget to take the label off or mark the information out with a dark marker, you don't need to share that information.
