I'm with you Rain, getting bottles of other peoples meds wouldn't fly in my neck of the woods either. When I worked in the nursing home, meds were purchased in individually packed bubble packs so that if a patient expired, unused medication could be returned to the pharmacy and reused. The cost of the drugs was higher this way, but it could be recycled because each dose was individually packed.

I can't believe with all of the contamination/imposter problems that anyone would take on the responsibility of recycling meds even if it was legal. Dateline had a show about the fake meds and some of the fake ones were so good, that they only way for the experts to tell the real ones from the fakes where chemical analysis.
