How to recycle your eclipse glasses NBC Chicago [Video]

So 2024 total solar eclipse over North America has come and gone. What do you do with those eclipse glasses? Donate them!

Astronomers Without Borders will take donated glasses, make sure that they are still safe and give them to others to enjoy the next solar eclipse. You can drop off eclipse glasses in good condition at Warby Parker locations.

The nonprofit will take those recycled glasses to underserved communities around the world for future eclipses.

You can also mail your undamaged eclipse glasses to Eclipse Glasses USA, which sends the glasses to schools for children in other parts of the world to see future eclipses.

“We aim to foster a love for astronomy and science among young minds, while also promoting safe viewing practices,” Eclipses Glasses USA says on its website.
