EsotericOdium Q.

I don't really post ,but I don't want to possibly harm the environment by throwing away makeup either down the drain or trash.
So for the Maybelline Fit me foundation bottle , can it be recycled? Most likely , but it still has some product so what do I do with that?
It's pretty old and was my sisters but she is not as into earth preserving as I am.
She has three of these so it is for future reference too.
Also for nail polish - in the trash or?

All packages should have the recycling symbol and corresponding number (for glass, metal, paper, etc) either on the bottom or side to let you know if it's recyclable.
