Hello everyone, does anybody know where to throw away nail polish bottles? I have like 15 old bottles I need to get rid of, but I don't want to put them in the regular trash...what should I do?

I just throw them in the trash. I don't see why it would be a problem.

I searched online and they don't suggest regular trash because they contain chemicals...I was thinking in the blue recycle bin, but they're not recyclable items either...I don't know, I just feel bad putting them in the regular trash...

I usually wait till my city offers dangerous chemical drop off...usually happens around spring time. If you're here in the States I would just look online at your city's website under garbage collection.

California...depending on what city you're in a drop off event should be happening real soon. I use to live in L.A. (Manhattan Beach to be exact) and they had them around March/April. You can also turn in expired meds as well.
