Just put the file flat on a bench and keep scraping the bottle across it.

I just finished a round of antibiotics, and now I have an empty prescription bottle.
I was about to throw it in the trash, but then realized this bottle has my name, address, doctors name, the medication, a prescription number, and several other pieces of information (along with various barcodes) that I'm not sure could be useful to an identity thief or not.
Am I being paranoid, or is there a legitimate concern here?
I’ll be 73 soon and hubby will be 77. Neither one of us take any drugs and we intend to keep it that way. We are far healthier than all our friends.
That’s what I do...
Careful about admitting you own a box cutter. TSA and BATFE are watching.
After reading all the replies that say you should reuse it for this or that, why are the dimocrats the ones who “want to save the planet”? It’s obvious that any conservative would try to reuse something, in fact, the sentence is kind of redundant; I’m conservative, therefore I conserve things.
Truly we live in a backwards time, bad is good, good is nerdy, conservatives are the ones trying to destroy the planet.

Put it in an old sock and smash it to bits with a hammer. Problem solved.
Yeah, great idea.
I use them when I travel for vitamins. I don’t like taking the whole bottles, but they are small enough to put separate vitamins in each bottle.
I also liked the seed idea. And the Q-tip one too!!!
“What do you do with your empty prescription bottles?”
If it’s REALLY good stuff, I lick the bottle clean.
OR, stack the bottles one on top of the other until you reach Outer Space.
I put my weed in it.
Good on you.
I always strip the labels before throwing the bottle away. Our pharmacy uses a system that is actually pretty easy to remove completely, and I do that regularly.
I keep some of the bottles, depending on the size, for small parts and doo-dads...
That’s a great idea! I need a container for my knitting stitch markers, too. I keep misplacing them.
I still have bottles from several years ago. Can’t seem to throw them away. :)

I have six or so actually. Only a couple of them are sharp. But all will cut the tape around a prescription lable. :)
A bench grinder with a wire wheel will make fast work of that label
I fill them with aspirin, relabel them oxycontin and sell them to liberals.
>> Put a stamp on it and mail it to the IRS.
LOL
My dad uses his for fishing tackle containers in his tackle box.
Don’t have any for myself, but for my dad when he was alive; I pulled the labels off and either threw them out or recycled them for my own uses. They are great, depending on size, containers for a multitude of things.
