Any use for old Christmas Cards

[Ash 22]

Just wondering if there is any charity out there that has any use for old Christmas cards?

Can't see it - only use for them I can think of is to burn them to keep warm.

Your local nursery school/play group might like to have them... Great for making collages!...

I belive there are some threads here from last year listing some charities that take these in and recycle them. They cut off the picture on the front and attach to a blank card for re-use.

What part of the country are you in? I know in Carlow there's a centre for adults with learning disabilities that takes them www.deltacentre.org .

We always used to keep old cards and cut out the picture to use as name tags for next years presents.

Your local schools might use them. As part of green flag programme they do alot of recycling and might use them to make next years decorations etc. k

Thanks for all the ideas folks. Pity to see them wasted if some good use could come of them.

Over here WH Smith (newsagents) have collection points for cards. Wouldn't Easons do similar?
