Eyeglasses, Hearing Aid & Cell Phone Recycling

Lions, Leos, and other volunteers collect used eyeglasses for donation to Lions Eyeglass Recycling Centers that are located throughout the world. The used eyeglasses are cleaned, repaired and classified by prescription.

The eyeglasses are then distributed to those in need by Lion volunteers and other organizations hosting optical missions in developing countries.

We need used Prescription Eyeglasses, and Sunglasses (Rx or plain)

Hearing Aids are cleaned and repaired and supplied to people here in the US and elsewhere to individuals who would otherwise not be able to pay for hearing assistance.

Cell Phones are collected and either recycled to sale in other countries, or are properly disposed of if not repairable so that they toxic chemicals do not end up in our landfills.  Proceeds are used to fund local projects of the Waycross Lions Club.

Locally you can recycle your old Eyeglasses, Hearing Aids or Cell Phones at the following locations:
