Stop tossing out the old pill bottle. Here are 12 ways to reuse it | May 25, 2025

Everyone has medication bottles laying around the home, so why are you allowingthem to pile up? Worse, why are you discarding them? These small little bottles are childproof and waterproof, and their bright orange hue makes them easily identifiable. Are you seeing where we’re headed with this?

These little bottles may be reused in a variety of ways to help organize and simplify your life. After reading this list, you’ll wish you had attempted these tips and tactics earlier! Check it out and tell us what you think.

1. Jewelry holder.
This is a great travel tip since it keeps your jewelry together (rather than rolling around in your backpack) and makes it simple to spot in the orange container.

2. Shower Bottles
Why buy those little shampoo, conditioner, and bodywash containers when you can just refill an old pill bottle? It’s free, secure, and simple to use.

3. Create a portable sewing equipment.
If you’re the sort of person who always manages to snag things or misplace a button, this is for you. Fill a pill bottle with some thread, an extra button, and a couple needles. If the (unfortunate) situation happens, you will be ready!

4. Hide a key
