- we have a lot of medicine bottles at home... most of the glass ones (for the syrups) we sell to the guys who buy recyclable stuff... the plastic ones we keep and use to put buttons in, give to young toddlers who need light weight rattles (after putting some dried beans in the bottles so they rattle... :)
