Here is the recycling information for pill bottles for Cuyahoga County:
DISPOSAL OF PILL BOTTLES
Empty, over-the-counter (OTC) vitamin and pill bottles can be recycled curbside, as long as they are larger than 3" in diameter. The bottles should be empty, clean and dry before recycling.
Translucent orange prescription bottles should be placed in the regular trash or consider donating them to an animal shelter (ASPCA) or other organization that can reuse them. You can also use a mailback program such as
Gimme 5 or
Matthew 25 Ministries. Prescription bottles should be empty, clean and dry before donating. It's also recommended that you remove stickers or redact personal information on the bottle before donation or disposal.
If you live in another county, we have links to county recycling pages on our Connect Today page: https://ccf.jiveon.com/community/sustainability/pages/take-action under the At Home section. Hopefully, that helps!
