Have you ever wondered “Can I recycle these eyeglasses?” Well you can! There are several different ways to go about it. You can even be green, when purchasing new ones too.
800 Cleanup will help direct you to local drop off location for your prescription glasses. The Lion’s Club will also help find a new home. They are affiliated with The Gift of Sight program. The glasses are cleaned, repaired and usually sent to other countries to be reused.
If your frames are still in good condition and you still like them, why not just replace the lenses. Or replace the lenses and keep them as a spare pair. You can donate your glasses to a local theater or drama club to use as props. I’ve even heard of using the lenses as jewelry of chandeliers.
Another way to at least be green about purchasing new is buying your glasses online. You save on gas and time. I’m not sure if I could do it that way, I like to try them all on, but I’ve heard stories of many who have and are very happy. Glasses USA is one place to buy online and they are offering a 10% discount. Just use the code mommy10 when prompted during your next purchase of prescription glasses.
