Used postage stamps - who wants some? MERGED

Piggles12345

Hi,

I was wondering whether anyone knows of any charities that collected used postage stamps?

When I was at primary school, a teacher used to collect stamps for a charity and she got me into the habit of collecting them, although I don't know any charities that accept them.

The library when I used to live used to take stamps for charity but they stopped doing it some years ago so I have building up a mountain of them ever since! Now, I am moving home in a few months and don't really want to take them all with me- I will start a new collection in my new area!

I'd preferably like them to go to an animal charity, but if anyone has any suggestions, they are all greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

I get a lot of mail and have taken a full carrier bag of stamps to both the Red Cross and Oxfam locally before now.

Interesting question ahai1. I Googled and found nothing.

I did find this in an online directory for stock photography but the website doesn't work:

Many thanks for having somewhere that I can send used postage stamps to for a good cause. We have been collecting them for the guide dogs for the blind but unfortunately they have advised me that they will not be collecting them after December . I will be sending some in the near future to.

Really. I know of at least 3 yellow boxes that collect stamps for guide dog for the blind.

The latest only being today. And it has only arrived in the last month. And the other I have seen since the start of the new year.


Yours

Shame as I would have loved to look at them for more details.

I'll merge this with another thread we have about collecting postage stamps for charities!

Anyone know of anyone who buys used postage stamps from charities? I work for a charity and we've been collecting for some time now, all are pre-trimmed, just need to find a good buyer? Thanks, Al

Hello!

I remember, when I was younger, that my Nan used to cut used stamps off her post, and give them to a charity. I don't know anything else about it, and was wondering if anyone else did? I don't know if I've totally mixed up what was happening, or if this isn't needed anymore, but I thought I'd ask since I get alot of mail and if they can be used somehow they may aswell be.

Thanks!
