Eyeglasses Collection Project

The Montville Lions Club collects used eyeglasses that people no longer need for recycling. The glasses are shipped to a Lions Eyeglasses Recycling Center where trained volunteers sort, clean and determine the prescription strengths of the glasses. Volunteers at the recycling center carefully package the prepared glasses and store them until they are required for eyeglass dispensing missions. Glasses that are not suitable for reuse are recycled for scrap, with the earnings benefitting local Lions and Leos projects. At the mission site, eye care professionals and trained Lion and Leo volunteers perform vision screening and dispense the appropriate recycled glasses, free of charge, to children and adults in need.

You can donate your used eyeglasses at the following locations:

The Montville Lions Club would like to thank these organizations for their generous support by serving as eyeglass collection sites.
