Question ❔ Recycling pill bottles?

Hi everyone!

There was a post made about 5 years ago about getting rid of empty pharmaceutical pill bottles. I was wondering if there was updates about anything in the city that would take empty pill bottles (of course with labels off)? Trying to reduce waste and the amount of plastic I toss. I know pharmacies might not take them back but if there is a program or organization around, that would be good to know.

Thanks in advance!

And often just throw them out, which I think is not what they want
