If they’re smaller than 2” x 2”, pill bottles should be disposed of in regular household trash.

Donation option:

• Matthew 25 Ministries accepts mail-in pill bottles to reuse in countries where prescriptions are often delivered in paper sacks and therefore aren’t protected from contamination or water. According to their site, they recycle the bottles they receive that can’t be reused.

Or, check out these ideas for reusing them around the home.

Regular household trash fees apply.
