What to do with leftover solar eclipse glasses
Solar eclipse glasses can be donated or reused. Now that
These places are all accepting used solar glasses. Since 2008, Astronomers Without Borders (AWB) has donated tens of thousands of undamaged solar eclipse glasses to those (in South America, Asia, and Africa) who don't have a way to view an eclipse safely. Warby Parker is one of their partners that accepts used solar glasses for donations.
Solar eclipse glasses can be donated or reused. Now that the April 2024 total solar eclipse has come and gone, you may be wondering what you can do with your solar eclipse glasses.
Solar eclipse glasses can also be donated to reputable organizations such as the nonprofit Astronomers Without Borders, which collects and donates gently-used glasses to underserved communities and schools for use during future eclipses.
Your glasses will be vetted for safety and authenticity at your regional hub, and then packaged and stored for future distribution. There are 2 solar eclipses per year and we will be actively seeking homes for the glasses. How likely is it that these solar glasses will find new homes to be reused? Very likely.
