Stop Throwing Away Your Old Pill Bottles: 12 Brilliant Ways to Reuse Them
1. The Perfect Bobby Pin Holder
Bobby pins have a magical way of completely disappearing into the depths of your purse or bathroom drawers. A standard pill bottle is the exact height of a bobby pin. Drop them in, pop the cap on, and you’ll never have to hunt for one again.
2. Desk Supply Sorter
Keep your desk clutter-free by using a few bottles to separate paperclips, thumbtacks, rubber bands, and staples. If you want to get fancy, you can hot-glue three or four bottles together side-by-side to create a sleek, upright desk organizer.
3. Spare Change for the Car
Tired of loose quarters rattling around in your cup holder or center console? A pill bottle is the perfect size for stacking quarters, dimes, and nickels. Keep one in your glove compartment for parking meters, toll booths, or car washes.
4. Travel-Sized Cotton Swabs
Standard cotton swabs (Q-tips) fit beautifully inside larger pill bottles. It keeps them clean, dry, and sanitary when you throw them into your toiletries bag for a weekend getaway.
