Tip #21: Recycling Eyeglasses
Lions Club International collects used eyeglasses. Drop eyeglasses in the Lions Club bin at the Harvard Post Office.
This recycling tip is brought to you by the Transfer Station Committee.
Editor’s Note: With the July 1 launch of Harvard’s SMART (Save Money and Reduce Trash) program, residents must purchase an $80 sticker to gain entry to the town’s Transfer Station. The sticker entitles residents to dispose of glass, paper, metal, plastic, textiles, and books at no charge. But they must purchase specially marked bags for the disposal of nonrecyclable materials. Bags are available at Westward Orchards, the Harvard General Store, Harvard Outdoor Power Equipment, Bolton Orchards in Bolton, and Shop ’n Save in Ayer. Each week, the Press publishes a tip to help readers reduce the volume of their trash, while increasing the volume they recycle.
