A collection of used optical equipment is being organized in Charente-Maritime from November 9 to 28, 2026, offering a second life to old frames.

The Community of Communes of Gémozac and Saintonge Viticole is launching a used glasses collection campaign that will take place from November 9 to 28, 2026 in the Charente-Maritime department. The aim is to give a new life to these optical devices.
In Saintes, the collection point is located at the MNT, at 62 avenue Gambetta. Opening hours are Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM and from 1:30 PM to 5:00 PM.
The collected frames will be entrusted to a specialized recycling process to be recovered and transformed into new products, thus contributing to the development of the circular economy. This simple and supportive gesture aims to promote recycling and give a second life to unused glasses.
