Eyeglasses
Don't throw usable eyeglasses away, donate them. Look for a Lions Club donation bin (typically blue and white) near the entrance of a participating Walmart Vision Center, or contact a local Lions Club directly. Collected glasses are sent to a Lions Eyeglasses Recycling Center and redistributed to people in need.
Curbside recycling?
No
Not accepted in curbside recycling, the mix of glass or plastic lenses with metal or plastic frames isn't sortable that way. Donation is the standard path for a usable pair.
How to prepare it
- Check a nearby Walmart Vision Center for a Lions Club donation bin, calling ahead is recommended since not every location has one
- Don't donate broken glasses or a pair missing a lens
- If no nearby donation bin, contact a local Lions Club directly or mail the glasses to the nearest Lions Eyeglasses Recycling Center
