Glasses (sight and reading) recycling in the East Gippsland Shire Council area
Your unwanted reading, sight or sunglasses can help improve the eyesight of children and adults all around the world. Donate your glasses to the following charity organisations.
Recycle for Sight - Lions Clubs International collect eyeglasses through their 'Recycle for Sight' program. Australians can donate their glasses, which are then given to people in developing countries.
OneSight - Drop off your unwanted reading glasses and sunglasses, either broken or intact to any OPSM, Laubman & Pank or Budget Eyewear stores across Australia. Your glasses are then distributed worldwide to charities helping developing communities.
Why donate your glasses
Collected glasses are distributed worldwide to communities in need. In some of these communities an eye exam can cost a month's wages, consequently poor eyesight often goes untreated, leading to further complications.
The simple donation of unwanted glasses can make a huge difference to someone living in less fortunate circumstances.
