Does anyone know if these bottles can be recycled somewhere? I am getting quite an accumilation and would like to give them to an agency or someone that could
use them. I'm not interested in using them for craft projects or to put stuff in. I have read that pharmacies can not reuse them.

Loretta, call your pharmacy and ask what they suggest. I wash mine and throw them in the recycle bin.
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

I rinse mine out and throw some in the recycle bin. I save some of them to use when I need a urine sample for my primary care physician
or my gynecologist.

Loretta, since you live somewhere near Seattle, these answers may be useful to you:

Yeah, I keep reading that they can't be recycled. Guess I will try the humane society or vets to see if they want them.

I'm not sure if this would be feasible for you to send them to this boy. He has been doing the project since 2005. Here is his website that I found.
