I am on several different medications and every month I would throw the bottles away, because I did not know of any use for them, other than beading. The other night, I thought maybe they can be used in the bottom of plant jars, along with rocks. I haven't tried it yet, but I wanted to share the idea before I forgot about it. Take care all.

My Mom thought of another neat idea for pill bottles... use them to put salad dressing in for your lunch! Most bottles have the screw on lid as well as the child-proof side so I screw my lid on and no leaks have happend yet! You can even label them w/ an adress label or write on w/ a permnant marker.
I put flower seeds in them. My columbine, money plant, hollyhocks, morning glories, and other vines like Japanese Lanterns, set seed when they are finished blooming.Most of the seed falls to the ground, and re-seeds itself.
Word of warning on reusing pill bottles: don't if you have young children in your house at all. In the bottom of a pot--great idea!
I was glad to see their uses here because I have tested several and found them not to leach plasticizers, etc., some made of @2 HDPE plastic, safest per research scientist Hullda Clark.
I get at least 2 bottles a month so my Husband decided to use them for organizing his nuts,bolts, screws and small items. Once he gets it all set up he will screw the lid to the bottom of a shelf and just screw the bottles onto the lids.
I cut up soda bottles, cardboard and the plastic bags from the dirt and anything I could find to put in the bottom of my flowerpots this summer and it seemed to work.
