I have tons of old hair product and body lotions, and tossing it down the sink and into the water system seems un-earth-friendly. Should I bag them and throw them in the trash (then rinsing/recucling bottles, of course.)

Pour them down the sink, they will have minimal effects on surface water. Or, you can dilute them with water, and pour them on your lawn where they will act as a mild fertilizer.

Lotions and shampoo's are biodegradable and are meant to "go down the drain" with minimal concern to the envoronment. I would suggest emptyingthe contents down the drain, or into the toilet where they then go to your municipal waste-water treatment plant. Be certain to recycle the containers!

Toss them into the sink and they go to the treatment plant where the product degrades.
Drain, garbage, it doesn't matter.
