Do you have old keys lying around that have no use? Instead of letting those old pieces of metal gather dust in your drawer, why not put them to use; they could be the “key” to helping others in need.
Keys for Hope, a Massachusetts-based nonprofit, collects keys, and melts them down to sell as scrap metal. They then take the profits and donate them to schools, shelters and various food pantries of your choice!
Another alternative is to taking your old keys to a local scrap metal merchant to sell.
If all else fails, keys can be recycled as mixed metals in a local Philadelphia recycling facility.
