Lens recycling?

[sirch]

Genuinely asking for a friend who has a broken Olympus MFT lens. Is there anywhere that recycles lenses?

 

[Gav.]

If beyond repair, sell for spares or recycle at local tidytip as electrical goods.

Return to retailer under WEEE if buying another?

 

[srichards]

Pop it on ebay as broken? There's quite a few people that repair lenses or use broken ones for spares. Unless it's been run over by a steam roller there's probably something that can be used!

If the friend just wants to dispose of the lens, one of the repairers might take it off them for any trainees to train on.

Some good ideas there, thanks. I'll pass them on
