Thank goodness that the world is on a path to be more green and concerned about the environment. One can imagine how many massive desktop computers that have simply been tossed into a dump and are sitting there taking up space. Well, now people are finding ways to recycle computers and (relevant for us) how to recycle hearing aids. IT appears that the process for recycling hearing aids at this point is less about returning the parts to their original stage and more about finding needing people to use the soon to be discarded aids.
Lions Club international is the leader in finding users for hearing aids that people want to recycle. This is great work they are doing and you can find out more about how to get your pieces to needy people by visiting their website at www.lionsclub.org.
In another turn that is encouraging, hearing aid manufacturers are aiding in the recycling and they are not limiting it to their own brand. Starkey hearing aids is a pioneer in this. They welcome products of all makes and they help to place them with people who need them.
It is encouraging to write that there and many very easy ways to recycle your hearing aids. Please participate!
