Recycle Partial Dentures
It's time to replace your partial dentures. But what do you do with your old ones? It seems a shame to just throw them away. After all, they were expensive, and there are so many people who can't afford dentures but need them. Unfortunately, because of the personalized nature of dentures, they are usually not recycled in such a way that they are given to another person to wear. There are some things, however, that you can do with your partial dentures other than just tossing them in the nearest trash bin.
Instructions
1. Check your locale for recycling options. If you live in Tokyo, there are places you can drop them off to be recycled. See Resources link to find out more.
2. Donate your partial dentures to a local school's health class or a dentistry school. Be sure to call first and ask if they would like them.
3. Dress up a Halloween costume or dummy with your dentures. Or, ask your children or grandchildren if they would like to use them as part of a Halloween costume or decoration.
4. Use your dentures as a gag gift for a 40th or other birthday bash. You could also hide them in a cake or drop them into the punch bowl.
5. Make a zany craft project. Save your dentures for a rainy day when you're desperate for a way to entertain the grandchildren. Then, whip out the paint, glitter and glue, and decorate them!
