SPECTACLE RECYCLING

 

The Club's next delivery of 4450 pairs of recycled spectacles is en route to our National Headquarters in Birmingham!

Thanks to Colin Marsh for arranging to transport a consignment from the Clubs in Zone K.

We must thank the opticians supporting our collection - Boots The Opticians in Street, Wells and Portishead, Specsavers in Street and Eyetech in Street. Without their help this project would not happen.

A team at our Headquarters use their considerable experience to select the items that are suitable for recycling and to sort them in preparation for distribution abroad. Any unusable or damaged spectacles are all re-cycled and sold, the funds being donated to sight related charities supported by Lions.
