Where are the donated eyeglasses sent?
The closest recycling center in our area is the New Jersey Lions Eyeglass Recycling Center (NJLERC) at the Katzenbach School in West Trenton, NJ. It handles over 1 million pairs each year and is one of 18 Recycling Centers worldwide hosted by Lions Club International.
The purpose of the NJLERC as an organization is to collect, clean, neutralize and designate the prescription of used eyeglasses and to store and package them for distribution to needy groups and individuals throughout the world. Their mission - “Give the Gift of Sight”. Website: http://www.njlerc.org/
