   Drug packaging is sorted separately, to keep drug residue out of the   
   environment. Fish don't like human hormone treatments, so any   
   packaging that had hormones in it, the packaging should be taken back   
   to the pharmacist.   
      
   When I have a box full of empty vials, I take those back to the store.   
   With caps off. And the staff deal with those.   
      
   If recycled goods go into a recycling center that washes with water,   
   the drug residue isn't removed by waste water treatment systems, and   
   it goes downstream. And there have been cases of detectable   
   results on fish.   
      
   The next time you're in a pharmacy, ask the pharmacist about their   
   opinion on waste treatment. The pharmacist has the education to   
   understand the matter.
