Where Can I Recycle......Glasses
If 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.
- Lions Clubs around the UK collect spectacles for reuse via Chichester Lions. Visit www.chilions.org.uk/specs.htm for more details. The Lions Club International also have national glasses collection programmes in the US and Australia.
- Love your frames but need new lenses? Framesavers will put new lenses in your favourite frames.
