One of the cool things about the green movement is that it has inspired people’s creativity for repurposing items. The term “upcycling,” which was first used in 1994, is now a widely understood concept that refers to the process of transforming waste or unwanted products into something new, usually of a higher quality.
In honor of National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day (April 30), this post highlights 7 DIY Upcycling projects you can create from those ubiquitous pill containers. Be amazed and inspired!
**If you have expired medications, dispose of them safely. Don’t flush them or toss them in the trash! Look for a drug collection site near you.
