As you are probably aware, all of your garbage, once deposited in bags, etc in front of your house for pickup and disposal, becomes public property. Anyone can go through your trash. You remember to shred your papers, but what about your pharmaceutical vials.
These vials also contain important personal information. The label gives your name, your doctor's name, and the medication. Based on the medication, virtually anyone can determine what your disease is.
So...prior to disposing of your med vials, remove the labels and thereby protect some more of your personal information.
But those labels are so hard to get off!
Soak the vials in hot soapy water. That should work.
