Was just wondering if anybody knew of anything to use used insulin bottles for?

I'd like to know, too. Good question.

Can they be given to a recycling place?

I can't understand why you would want to keep them?

judy_68

I don't keep them.. my mom does. She just asked me if I knew if anybody used them for anything.
I was just curious.

I think there has to be a use for them too. We throw so much away literally every single year that if something could be reused it should be. Bravo for asking. Wish I had an answer not even sure what shape they are. I moved recently to the mountains. Here they dont recycle much it kills me. Bottles that are CRV value only. We had bins for newspapers, cardboard, cans, bottles, you could also recycle assorted paper from the home.. I give magazines to the hospital, books to the cancer ward bookshelf.. I just asked about spools here the other day. Seems like we must toss a ton of those too. Show me what the bottle looks like..

Found a crafter who has been using them for years to make ornaments. She fills them with beads, rice, even.. COLORED SUGAR LOL.. could be cute.. do a red/white/red fill and put a cute ribbon on top. It seems she gets that top part off of her bottles and puts corks in it. This was from a forum on type 1 diabetic support groups.

that is a cute idea. Those would be cute in a mini collection.
