Yea, Master, when I throw away my empty prescription bottles, I take a black magic marker and blot out all info. I am NOT a paranoid person, just very private, but these things are taken to the town dump for pete's sake!
First off, I don't want the trashmen knowing what meds I take, and I most certainly don't want anybody combing the town dump looking for old bottles which they can take into a pharmacy and ask for a refill or even call the Dr. and ask for a refill if it's a Schedule III.
Maybe those pill bottles they sell once belonged to a celebrity and are still labeled or once contained a notorious product such as thalidomide or Quaaludes w/the original labels. Maybe there's a market out there for this type of stuff. Who knows? Now my imagination is running wild-maybe a woman would buy them to "plant" in her ex-husband's home when the child custody evaluator comes over....ha ha ha ha.
Oh, yea, did you see they sell used enema bags on e-bay?
