The Japan Society for the Recycling of Dentures is able to turn the average denture into 3,000 yen by selling the metal components of false teeth. According to UNICEF, one of the charities receiving funding from the program, each recycled denture enables it to purchase eight blankets.
I wonder if this will catch on in America . Will we one day see our roads lined with denture donation billboards instead of car donation appeals? Somehow I doubt it.
As a 501 (c) (3) organization itself, Charity Navigator depends on public support to help donors make informed choices. Please consider investing in the future of Charity Navigator by making a donation today. Donate now >>

Be careful with dentures. Poligrip, Fixodent, and other denture creams have been linked to neurological and other problems. This site has some good information and recourse options: http://www.denturecreamlawyer.com/
