Disposal Options
Eye Glasses - Town Hall Recycling Hub
Why
Eye glasses are often reusable and can help people in need, especially in developing communities through donation programs. Many frames contain recyclable metals or plastics, but lenses are harder to recycle through standard systems. Reusing glasses is the best option, followed by specialist recycling where available.
