A few visits to. the recycling centre shoud solve your problem. Thats what other people do with bottles.
With Sarah, Phil, Ellen, Rose the dentist, and the granddaughter whose name I forget.

Now if they were still FULL - I'd be on to you like a shot. But empty bottles - try an art college, they could be valued by someone putting a concept/installation together; or they could be used as subjects for painting. But I have more than enough bottles, empty or otherwise, of my own ...

I reckon you should drop everything and make the project you originally planned with the bottles. Then sell it for a mint.

I can see them now in an exhibition, along with the bricks or they would look good next to Tracey Emin's bed.

I’ve got bottles by the dozen but inspiration simply doesn’t seem to come I cannot summon up ideas I’m feeling sullen. Should I smash them should I paint them could recycle be an option should I take them to the auction or perhaps I could instead keep them underneath the bed and should my bladder wake me with an overwhelming urgency I won’t have far to waddle I can simply use a bottle there's so much to gain just wish me, please, good aim.
