Does any charity make use of old doorkeys?

We get a fair amount through my work at the moment they just head binward.

Any charities still take these?

Likewise - around 50-100 keys sitting in a drawer of unknown unknown origin in need of disposal at work.

if you send them to me i will pass them on to my local guide dog charity as they have just said they are collecting old keys, any coins and used stamps

I'll check with ours. If one do it surely they all would I'd have thought. I've got a box full of keys from previous homes (don't ask why I kept them all this time) and when we cleared Mums house out last year I found a box of my Dads full of them...............he was as bad as me..............lol
Time they went to a deserving cause I think

i can't remember which charity it was for (what use am i!) but the other day in the hospital waiting room there was a charity collection bin and it stated that they could use old keys.

THE THINg is , they will weigh a TONNE

We have 2 large cardboard boxes ( ie removal size boxes) so it would be good to drop them somewhere- im not sure my boss would want to pay a courier on those....
