I am a huge Powerade drinker. I'm talking 15-30 32 oz bottles a week. I hate throwing them away. If I knew where, I could donate too.

I put mine into a bag and then into the recycling bin picked up by the city. If no recycling in your area, there are other recycling areas/bin throughout.
we take ours to a clinic for homeless/needy people - the pharmacy there gladly re-uses them.
If you rub a bit of oil over the label and wait a little while, the label will peel right off. Found this out by accident but I do it all the time now before I recycle the bottles.
Recycle them if it's available in your area
Please recycle versus trash the bottles. Other things you can do, depending on sizes: 1. Fill with small 1st Aid kit.Bandaids, small package (single use) , tweezers,etc.
2. Emergency sewing kit. 2 needles each threaded, one dark, other white. Also include a couple of buttons, tiny scissors. One a thin card board, wrap lengths of extra threads.
3. Super glue small rock on the lid. Hide a key in bottle and stash in a flower bed or planter. Be sure the lid is similar to the rocks used in the landscape.
4. Need more ideas? đŸ¤”
Oops!! Small single use ointments or antispectic!!
We go through tons of meds and have tons of empties. My daughter found a recycler that accepts them.
