Your empty bottles can become part of something bigger.
I collect empty prescription bottles for my ongoing artwork exploring mental illness, medication, recovery, and survivorship.
Every bottle has a history. By donating yours, you’re helping transform something that is usually discarded into a work of art that creates space for conversations around mental health and disability.
Want to contribute? It’s easy.
Remove the labels
Please remove all prescription labels or completely black out any personal information before sending your bottles.
Give them a quick rinse
A little warm, soapy water is perfect. Please make sure bottles are empty and reasonably clean before mailing them.
Pack & ship
Once they’re clean and label free, pack them up and send them to:
Kellie Gillespie
22287 Mulholland Hwy #5811
Calabasas, CA 91302
Want to share your story?
If you feel comfortable, I’d also love to hear a little about you and your bottles.
Maybe there’s a story behind a particular medication, a chapter of your life they remind you of, or simply a reason you decided to save them. A note can be as short and sweet as you’d like, and there’s absolutely no pressure to include one.
I treasure getting to hear the stories behind the bottles and knowing a little more about the people who help make this work possible. ♡
