No, don't put this pill bottle in curbside recycling

Correct.

Prescription pill bottles are too small for the machinery in recycling plants to handle.

But you can reuse them. They can hold nails and screws in the workshop or beads and buttons in the craft or sewing room.

There are other ways to reuse these pill bottles. First remove the label and wash them, of course. Then you can take them to Pima Animal Care Center at 4000 N. Silverbell Road. PACC can use them for pet medications and you'll help save them money.
