How do you dispose of essential oils and supplies when they are past date?

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

I have a question what do you do with essential oils, like citrus that

really only last for six months, how do you dispose of them properly?

What do you do with the oils that are like years old, like from 05 are

they still good.? What also do you do with your bottles that they were

stored in? I have tons of amber 16oz bottles? do you recycle them? if

so how?

 

 

Fragrance oils?,

 

 

Thanks,

I would use it in home made laundry soap for one ...and i would put the bottle

through the dish washer and put them out in yard says for people to pick up and

recycle them... or put a add in the paper to give them away or best offer ...

I don't dispose of any of my oils unless they smell off. Then, I have an old

glass container that I put them in. Our county has a program where you take

paint and things like that that are hazardous and I take them there. I don't

throw away any of my glass amber bottles. I reuse them and have done that for

years. After I wash them thoroughly by hand, I put them through the dishwasher

and they are good as new for me. Boy, I'd take anyone's glass amber bottles,

lol! Cindy

I tend to use oils which are getting towards the end of their life for

cleaning, washing floors, cleaning the bathroom etc. I also recycle

glass bottles. First I soak them in hot soapy water and use a bottle

brush to clean them out then put them in the hottest cycle of the

dishwasher.

I have gallon size amber jars that had herbs in them, and even after washing

with soap and hot water, and rinsing very well with

clean hot water and distilled vinegar, I cannot get the smell out of them or the

caps. These particular ones held peppermint leaf

and lavender herb. I would like to reuse them for storing coconut oil but don't

know if the lingering smell will taint the oil. They

are too large to put in the dishwashwer.

Interesting though . a friend of mine suggested I melt down the amber bottles

and make jewelry out of them .

washer (the bottles i mean)
