Hi, Sean-- just a thought. Right now, I am trying to keep plastic pill bottles out of the landfill-- each one is small but when a household generates 20-30 peer month, it adds up-- and we (two humans and two dogs)are comparatively healthy. When I googled "recycle pill bottles", google offered up that both Whole Foods and Walgreens could take them-- in fact, google suggested that the Whole Foods markets were supposed to take them. They don't, per the manager, because they don't have the room to do so. I haven't been able to reach anyone at Walgreens, sop I've been mailing them off to Mathew Two somewhere in the midwest. There must be a staggering total of these things in the landfill, given the presence of UVA Medical Center, Sentara MJH and more. Anythoughts about how we can fix this? I'm happy to do some of the research if you are interested.
