Where Can I Recycle......GlassesIf your prescription has changed or you have a pair of specs which you no longer use, here are some places where you can donate your unwanted spectacles for charity.
- The best know organisation to which you can donate them is Vision Aid Overseas. Your glasses can be left at opticians throughout the country and they will be sent to the developing world. You can donate them at any branch of Vision Express, and many independant opticians.
- The Second Sight Project will accept glasses at your nearest KODAK Lens Vision Centre or by post, and they ask you to include a £1 coin with your donation. If there is no doantion centre near you you can send your donation by post.
- The Lions Club International have a national glasses collection programme in the US and Australia. There is no national programme in the UK, but many groups do collect spectacles. Contact your local Lions organisation to find out if they are taking part in this.
- Eyestyle, an optician based in Merseyside, are collecting specs in conjuction with their local Lions Organisation.
