Burnet County officials are asking residents to donate their eclipse glasses to a recycling program that will reduce waste and help future eclipse watchers around the world.
The county has four donation sites accepting used or unused eclipse glasses until May 10. The donations will be sent to Astronomers Without Borders, a nonprofit that aids in the distribution of refurbished eclipse glasses. The county distributed 25,000 glasses, so there should be plenty to return!
