Pill bottles of 3 sizes?
I add to my pill bottles every month. I don't want to throw them away but don't know what to make. I saw 1 idea but wasn't for me. I'm sure someone must have ideas for me so I don't add to the landfill

Are they Plastic or Glass? Maybe use an old breadbard (Circular) or Aunt Susan. Add small Wooden door knobs as feet. arrange bottles in rounds with the bigest in the middle , grduating down to the outside. When happy with arangement, you could either decorate with Sticky backed plastic or paint with Nail varnish or leave as is. You could stick them down or leave loose. Use for Pencils - Pens - Needles or flowers or anything else that would fit .

They make great mini holders for your purse and vehicle. Sewing kit; first aid (bandaid, benedryl, tylenol - easy to distinguish); make a "hide a key" by adding a rock to the top, dig a hole, & drop in; make a "love prescription" and fill with m&m; great to hold small candy like m&m s all the time if you have kids or need a small sweet on the go.
As for adding to the landfill, most pharmacies will accept empty bottles with label removed and they recycle.
They are great for storing small parts - nails, screws, washers, etc. Crafters also use them them for small pieces. They also can hold pins, paper clips, tacks, or matches for camping. Here's a link with more ideas:

There are SO many good ways to re-use the pill bottles. They can be used to store and organize sewing, craft, office, garage items. I use one in my car to keep small change to use when purchasing food at drive-thru restaurants and used to use them at toll roads. They are great for storing office items such as paper clips, thumb tacks, etc. Hubby likes to use them in the garage for leftover nails, and small allen wrenches, etc. If you've run out of uses in your home, others might love to be gifted them.

I haven't been able to find anyone doing that. I was hoping to find something I could do with them. I add 5-6 a month. They can't take them back, I am looking into setting up a special bin at pharmacies just to recycle these. In the meantime, I'd like to make something.

Are the lids child-proof? If so, I would suggest donating them to a preschool or daycare, especially one in a less advantaged area. Children love to play with items that are small enough to fit in their hands- items that can be stacked, arranged in rows or letter shapes, counted, sorted, etc.
They make great bodies for holiday doll ornaments...just add a wooden ball to the top for a head and fabric to the bottle for the outfits.
I have been saving them hoping to recycle them I have a large bag
Depending where you live, if you can’t find a suitable project, you can recycle them or take them back to the store when you get a refill.
