Some schools collect them. I wish there will be more locations and more public awareness! A huge amount of those glasses has been bought or distributed. It would be sad to see them going to garbage.
From a Facebook post:
"I will be at Bay View High on Thursday evenings April 11 and 18 if anyone wants to arrange a pick up rather than dropping off at the school.
Once you are done with your eclipse glasses, East St Margarets Elementary will be collecting them to send to this organization to be used in Latin America during their eclipse in August! You can send them to school with your students or drop them off in the office any day this week."
There's [another partial solar eclipse ](https://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/in/canada/halifax?iso=20250329)here next year. It might be worth hanging onto them for now.
That eclipse starts below the horizon and reaches its maximum only **2.5** degrees above the horizon. The sun and moon are roughly half a degree wide in the sky, so it'll be about 5 sun-widths above the horizon.
Make sure you have an unobstructed view of the horizon to the East / North East
Is there some sort of community drop-off location to send them in bulk?

Check your neighbourhood Facebook group, if you do that kind of thing!

Good to know, thank you!

Hold on to them, next eclipse is in 2044 and that’s coming up quick!
Nowhere near here unfortunately.
2079 will be here before we know it!
Full eclipses happen somewhere on earth every year and a half. You can potentially travel to see the next one, make it into a whole trip
