Got any advice on reusing all the pill bottles I have from being broken?
I’ve looked into places that reuse them for pills but there’s like one ministry that takes them and I’d need to ship..
Totally nice bottles without labels and you can’t just take them back to the pharmacy or something…?????? The fuck.
I refuse to put them into recycling, they won’t be.. so I’m just sitting here with 100 or so bottles just.. taking up space…
Give em a good wash and use them as seed containers, whether for single plant species or for mixes
Thanks, that’s a good use :)
I actually already have dozens for that sort of thing (as well as beads and other craft supplies, and screws and other construction-type supplies). I’ve been broken for a hot minute (have taken meds most of my life), so I have so many pill bottles. So many.
But maybe I should go ahead and keep them for my farm. I might need real organization. Fuck. Can I hire someone for that..? Fuck.
this is what i do! it works really well.
Nope. Utterly stupid. Pharmacies aren't allowed to refill bottles you bring in, they're often enormous compared to what they contain, but they're also awkwardly small for any around-the-house use. Even if you superglued a bunch together for an improv screws and nails container, they wouldn't hold many.
I'm sure someone's found a use for those, but I think for the most part it's just shit that's going to end up in our brains eventually.
Have to agree all around.
Intensely frustrating.
SLPT: get prescribed bigger pills. My twice a day horse pills come in an impressively large bottle.
Old pill bottles would work fine for spices! Or... Buy pills in bulk, and then divvy them up into the smaller bottles. Or, if they are the orange bottles, put little LED lights in them for a warm diffuse ambiance.
I wish I could get my pills in bulk but I can’t. I get three new bottles every 90 days like clockwork. Sometimes I even get more! Yay!
I don’t have enough spices for them. Especially since I keep my spices in sealed glass. But if I didn’t that would be a great use!
The light idea is interesting, but you have to really like orange light, and I don’t ;)
Small screws/nails/ikea bits, seeds, extra pin-backs or pushpins when the shit container they come in inevitably breaks, weed, q-tips, sewing kits, some vets/humane societies, art AKA makin Injection Molded Robots
You could put a small cylinder in there.
