The Eclipse has passed, so what about those cheap glasses we bought?
What To Do With Your Eclipse Glasses Now: In the wake of the total solar eclipse this week, millions of Americans might be wondering what to do with their solar eclipse-safe glasses. Of course you could save them, but only if you plan on using them in the next three years because, surprisingly, eclipse glasses actually expire. Other options for getting rid of your eclipse glasses include recycling or donating them. To recycle them, separate the paper from the lens, throw out the lens and recycle the paper part. Organizations like Astronomers Without Borders, Warby Parker, and Eclipse Glasses USA also have programs to reuse or recycle eclipse glasses to distribute to other areas around the world expecting eclipses in the near future.
