Recycle used stamps

If you want to recycle your stamps for charity: find a local stamp collection scheme, at a school, church or community centre. Or start your own!

• Save all of your stamps, especially commemorative and foreign stamps.
• Cut around the stamps, leaving a 5mm border.
• Separate stamps if you can, into UK and foreign boxes

Charities sell the stamps to dealers (per kilo) and use the money to fund their projects. Many charities will be glad to receive your stamps, here are a few examples:

• Oxfam can use your stamps and foreign coins.
• Royal National Institute of Blind People are also collecting stamps along with a host of other charities whose details can be found at Used Stamps for Charity
