Roman Koval, Pexels Tis the season of giving, and people are using it as an opportunity to donate clothes, toys, and canned goods to their local charities. If you re looking for a more unique way to give back at the end of 2020, there s an item many organizations are accepting that you likely have at home: old stamps.
According to Recycling for Good Causes, the stamps on your old envelopes hold value to charities. Many organizations based in the UK like Oxfam, Parkinson s UK, MacMillan Cancer Support, and Many Tears Animal Rescue take used stamps from donors and sell them to collectors. This allows them to raise funds using scraps of paper most people would throw away.
