It’s Kuhl To Recycle: Eye See You
Drop Your Old Glasses Off At Costco For Reuse
By Mark Kuhl
For the GPHN
Costco partners with the nonprofit organization Assist International to collect and distribute used eyeglasses to people in need.
You don’t need a Costco membership to access the optical department. There, a donation box is waiting for your old glasses. Make it worth your trip and gather unused prescription eyeglasses, sunglasses and readers from your friends and family. Head over to any Costco and drop them all off at once.
Volunteers with Assist International sort and distribute eyeglasses locally and across the globe.
