Please send both plastic and metal frames.  Remove eyeglass cases, loose and broken lenses or damaged lenses and frames before shipping. Rather than store glasses for a long time, send as soon as possible to the Lion Eyeglass Recycling Center. Time, extreme temperature and weather conditions cause damage to frames and lenses, often rendering them useless.

Pack eyeglasses in a sturdy corrugated box. Layer rows of eyeglasses with tissue paper, newspaper or styrofoam. Please avoid using shredded packing materials or Styrofoam "peanuts.”

Seal box with tape.

Be sure label is legible and Include your return address. Used eyeglasses are of no commercial value; therefore, choose the least expensive means of shipping to the recycling center. Label the box, "No commercial value."
