What to do with

Watches

Watches and jewellery are accepted by many charities. They can be recycled or re-sold to raise valuable funds.

Alternatively, there are on-line organisations such as Recycling for Good Causes that accept jewellery and watches regardless of condition via the post, for re-sale/recycling to raise funds for national charities and local groups such as Scouts and Brownies.
