Realizing now that me hording all my supplements bottles is getting to take up too much space. When you guys finish your supps do you just throw these bottles out or repurpose them as something else?

Also - I know a few bottles are worth keeping since companies offer a label for product promotion. I know Xgels is one of them... is this the case with anyone else before these get thrown out?

Sometimes my wife repurposes them. She's really into DIY stuff. Mostly I just put them in the recycle

Sometimes I'll use a smaller bottle to hold some pills when I'm on the go or something. If I have room for It in a bag or something, I prefer it to just putting the pills in a clear plastic baggy.

I either re use them to take stuff and leave it at the gym or fill it full of tanerite.... those 5lb protein jugs make one hell of a bang:)

im talking more about like empty pill bottles ASSASINAT3 (or however its spelled) follidrone, orange triad multi, and other pill bottles of that size

i guess i could throw some change in there... i was thinking about potentially planting a small plant in each one lol... idk how that would work out though

In that case I would lay in bed with them all over me and take pics topless for a special someone

I toss them in recycling. To many to reuse them. I did use a few to use for OT for my son when he was younger.

I recycle/trash most of them now. For awhile I saved every protein tub but I go through too much.

I have used some of the protein tubs for empty brass, they are pretty good for that. Them and Tidy Cats, the plastic handles with the handles.

I hate throwing the protein tubs out, they are pretty sturdy and seem quite useful, but, for what?

I reused a large protein tub to condense like 5 tubs of creatine into one bottle.

they are good to wash paint brushes in.....when my parents had their pool my dad used the 5lb tubs for water to keep the winter cover on

I've also kept them since I mix my bcaa products together, or bigger tubs to mix creatine together

I tried but it probably won't go through, it says you can only PM staff until 50 posts

I guess I need to post whore for 100 posts before I can do anything

Great idea here. Sharps container!
Be CAREFUL with this unless they are insulin syringes. Chances are the needles could punture the containers. Sharps Boxes are made specifically to avoid punctures. I wouldnt chance it

Haha, I guess it's all relative. Like NG said, a Sharps box is better in regards to safety, and it also looks better, and likely would draw less attention or questions if someone were to see it; it looks like it's for genuine medical stuff as opposed to looking like a random bro or druggie storing used needles in a random protein tub. Granted, it may not be an issue, but it does seem like it'd look better and/or raise less questions/concerns IMO.

I recap all my pins post injection
Aye. No way theyd be puncturing a protein tub. Even if a shield came off, those things are so lightweight I couldnt see how there would be any sufficient force generated necessary to puncture the plastic anyway. Guess theres a possibility of an external force though. Meh. Safety first, Im being argumentative.

Maybe a random bro who is overly excited slamming his scooper in for some whey gainz?
