Well Garg, if there were anywhere in my area (and I'm in London!) that had a collection point for my old specs I'd be only too happy to donate them. When my dad died, we cleared out 15 pairs of glasses that he'd acquired over the years. I hope someone else is using them now.

And I've asked - my optician won't take them... hasn't the space.

One of the other reasons is that I tend to use the same frames over and over. 2 pairs, one in the shop and one one, get the new ones, upgrade the old ones. It's only this last time, when my old glasses actually broke, that I got new frames.
