Recycling Postage Stamps

Have you been sent any postcards lately? Receive plenty of snail mail? Here’s an idea for you. RNIB (Royal National Institute of Blind People) can raise money from both British and overseas used stamps.

The stamps are sorted by their volunteers and then sold on to dealers or collectors. They normally sell them by weight (generally £0.90 – £1 for a pound weight of stamps), with overseas stamps raising more and valuable stamps being sold for a higher price.

This is such an easy way to recycle and raise money! So rip your stamps off your envelopes and when you have a good sized collection pop them in an envelope and send them to the RNIB, Recycling, PO Box 185, Benfleet, SS7 9BH.
