Oxfam collect them, so do the RNLI, and the RNIB, and the Guide Dogs for the blind…. Search for “recycle stamps charities” in Google.

Karen Ketley from the RNLI has contacted us to say they no longer run their stamp collecting scheme - and she thinks the Guide Dogs for the Blind have stopped theirs too.

The RNLI no longer collect used stamps

Actually, take back what i said earlier. My charity (CECB) are collecting stamps to raise funds. You can send them to me if you need to get rid of them. And it will go to help fight global warming… eventually. We get paid £2.00 per KG of stamps. Just trim them with approx. 5mm border and e-mail me at cecbpenweddig@hotmail.com for an address.

hi cadan i found the website! hee hee hee hee hee hee hee hee ps i no wer u live!

hey, i saw this thing on the news that theyv’e made paper from recycled sheep crap! seriously!.

Once I have put aside the ones I want for my album, I then use the decorative ones to make recycled cards, then give the remainder to Oxfam. Where I bought them originally to be resold.

a great way to reuse stamps is to cover them with tape when you put them on the envelope to be mailed, then the postmark is on the tape and the person you mailed the letter to can just retape the old stamp on the next letter they write!

@ drew - the post office will not be at all pleased if you do that.

We raise funds for rescued and abused cats. The organisation that I was sending used postage stamps to has now stopped turning the stamps into cash, and I’m now looking for an alternative. I have searched the web and can find plenty or organisations who want the stamps to raise funds, but no-one who is advertising ‘cash for stamps’. Can anyone help please.
Thanks.

The Bransby home of rest for horses collects used stamps which helps look after horses.

I once got hold of hundreds of envelopes from a mail-in competition that was being run at my workplace. I pulled out all those with unstamped (i.e. unfranked) stamps, soaked them off, and reused them as and when I needed a stamp. I ended up saving quite a lot of money reusing those stamps. (Don’t tell the post office…) All the rest, I threw into paper recycling.

Send them to me and mark your favorite charity i will pay them direct £2.50 per kilo

Hi Stephen
I am an RSPCA Trustee of a very small branch and we collected stamps and a guy called from Rhayader on a regular basis and we received £3 per bag. would you be willing to take these off us or do you know of anyone more local to Herefordshire. I would be glad to hear from you as I am arranging a street collection and want to encourage the public to help us which doesnt cost them anything - how can they refuse - so would like to continue with stamps.

contact me on steve_1r@yahoo.co.uk

There is a jeweller near me in Liverpool Emma Farnworth who works with stamps. www.squem.co.uk I think or try the MJMAN site (Merseyside Jewellers and Metal Artists Network).
I personally send all mine off to a charity or use them in work or save them if they are beautiful.
