Does any charity make use of old doorkeys?

Does anyone know of any charity collecting old keys to raise money?

My daughter's school used to colllect them for the Guide Dogs for the Blind - but have stopped. I looked on the Guide Dog website but it makes no mention of collecting the keys - have a large quantity from work and was hoping they could be of some use.

Thanks

I found this old thread but it also mentioned Guide Dogs, may be worth giving them a call however? Just in case they still take them, but don't mention it.

I was just wondering if anyone was still trying to get rid of old keys, as I am doing a school project and am in need of many old keys.
Thanks

If people are still interested in a charity which can use old keys and the like, try the following: http://www.safehaven4donkeys.org/pdf/stamps-n-all.pdf

So far as I am aware RNLI will take old keys.

I have given my old keys to my Brownie unit - we use a bunch of them for a game (one girl blindfolded and someone else has to rescue the keys from under the chair. The blindfolded Brownie has to guess who has the keys). A simple game, but one that is enjoyed a lot.

What are they made of?? I would have thought they are mostly steel. Are they any good to a scrap metal yard?
