Did you know that precious crowns are not considered clinical waste? This means they are not governed by the same strict laws that regular clinical waste disposal. With Gold For Kids you can do something better with old dental crowns than just throwing them away.
Gold For Kids was founded on the idea that small amounts of scrap precious metal, such as from old dental restorations, can make a big difference. By collecting old precious restorations and sending them to Gold For Kids in a prepaid envelope, you can help make a positive difference, support children’s charities, and make sure this restorative waste is recycled meaningfully.
Since 2019, Gold For Kids has raised over £35,000 from scrap precious metal, help make that total even bigger!
