Plastic pill containers made from materials like PET or HDPE are generally recyclable in most communities, but it’s always a good idea to check with your local recycling program to make sure they accept them.

However, pill containers made from materials like PVC or polystyrene may not be recyclable, and should be disposed of in the trash.

It’s also important to note that before recycling any pill container, you should remove any labels, seals, or other non-recyclable materials from the container.
