Eyeglasses
The World Health Organization says millions of people in low- and middle-income countries lack basic health services, including eye care. If you have old eyeglasses, contact your local Lions Club. They collect eyeglasses and get them to people around the world who need them. You’ll likely find a drop-off location not far from where you live.

Old Appliances
If you’re buying new appliances, see if the retailer will take your old ones to be recycled. Getting rid of old appliances can sometimes be a challenge.
Many donation centers, such as Habitat for Humanity ReStores, will also take appliances that still work. If they don’t work, check with your waste hauler to see if they offer special pick-up services, or if the appliances can be recycled curbside.

Used Motor Oil
It’s illegal to throw used motor oil in the trash! But there are ways to dispose of it properly.
Take your used oil to an oil change facility that accepts it, or to a household waste recycling facility near you. Regardless of the option you choose, Mobil suggests calling ahead first to make sure the facility will accept used motor oil.
