Do you hold on to old eye glasses just in case you might need them?
Do they end up hanging around for a few years or more?
Well maybe you should consider donating them to an organization that will recycle them for someone in need.
All it takes is locating a drop off box, usually a repurposed mailbox standing outside a library, a bank or even outside an eyeglass store.
One organization in Delaware County that devotes time to this effort is the Lions Club of Springfield.
Here are a few drop off locations in Springfield as per Lions Club's website:
(Look for the yellow and blue mailbox that has the Lions' Club log on the side)
-Springfield Library
-Sharon Savings Bank at 5 E Springfield Rd
-Moore Eye Institute, Springfield Medical Building next to Springfield Hospital
-Saxer Ave across from PNC Bank
-Pilgrim Gardens Shopping Center at Marchese Opticians
-In front of M&T Bank at 11 E Hinkely Ave, Ridley
Thank you Lions Club of Springfield for doing this eyeglass collection for the past 80 years!!!
