Eyeglass Collection For Charity

Please be informed that another recycling initiative is on-going now. Starting end of October until early March, 2007, Eyeglass Collection Centres have been established in various places in Petaling Jaya. For those who would like to donate their used eyeglasses for re-use by the less privileged, please send them to any of these venues:

Lobby, MBPJ HQ / Lobby, Menara MBPJ / DJROA Community Recycling Centre / Ming Tien Food Court, Taman Megah / Taman Megah Residents Association / Taman Mayang Jaya Residents Association / Morning Market SS2/63 (in front of MJ restaurant) / Lovely Disabled Home, SS2 / PJCC, Jalan 17/21 / London Optical, Damansara Utama / Malaya Optical, Jalan Yong Shook Lin / RA Section 5 (Photo Shop off Jalan Chantek) / SK Sri Kelana / RT Jalan Carey / Magnum, Taman Megah / RT Section 1A / RT SS5 / Komuniti Link, Summit Shopping Centre / Saujana Apartment RA, Damansara Damai / RT Kg Chempaka JKKK, Kg Kayu Ara / Beautiful Gate, Jalan SS2/24/ RA SS3 / Klinik Huang, SS3 / RT Sea Park / Clinic MBPJ / RT Section 4A / Landscape Department, MBPJ, Taman Bandaran Kelana Jaya / Hotel Lisa De Inn/ Hotel PJ De Inn / Komuniti Link, ICT Centre, Jalan 17/1A.

The collected eyeglasses will be cleaned, tested and labelled before being sent to the Lions Regional Eyeglass Recycling Centre in Sri Lanka. From there the glasses would be sent to the needy in Asia and Africa. Whilst this project is aimed at helping the poor and needy with eyesight problems, it is also an endeavour to reduce the generation of waste. You may contact the undersigned at 012-2081489 for Centres closer to you. For donation in bulk, arrangements can be made for collection.

Thank you.
