Renfrewshire Council

Below are some options on how you can get rid of your unwanted or broken watches.

Community organisations and charities

• Watches (and jewellery) are accepted by many charities. They can be recycled or re-sold to raise valuable funds. Always check the list of acceptable items shown on charity bags first - they do vary considerably
• Alternatively, there are on-line organisations like 'Recycling for good causes' that accept jewellery and watches (regardless of condition) via the post, for re-sale/recycling to raise funds for national charities and local groups such as scouts and brownies

Online

If in good working order:

• Pass on items for free at places such as Freecycle and Freegle
• Or sell them on websites like eBay and Gumtree

High Street

Try selling your watch at a Jewellers' or shops such as Cash Converters - especially if it's of high quality or a popular brand

Friends, family and local events

• Ask family and friends - it might be just what they were looking for!
• Sell items locally at car boots, nearly new and bring and buy sales
• Advertise them in the local paper or on local noticeboards
