The 3$ or 4$ or so that you pay, it not for the glasses, it for the equipement need to show in 3d, the makers and only for the theater they must pay 100,000$ per screen for que equipement to show 3d movies.

Whew! Am so relieved there are so many people out there that agree with me! My family is sick of my tirade after every single movie when I loudly announce I am *not* “recycling” my 3D glasses, but am rather taking them home to trash them rather than give them BACK to the theater so they can (not sterilize them, I guess, after that Good Housekeeping article let us know), just reuse them. I guess now I will keep enough in my house for each member of my family so we know we are using clean ones…and I guess we will take our unused, packaged pair that we paid for home and throw them in the trash as usual! Sorry easyeco–there is nothing “green” about being taken to the cleaners by a mega theater!

I agree with the other folks…this is not recycling, this is…”Please give us the glasses back so we can re-package them and charge you $3 bucks again” That is the sole reason I kept mine…these companies don’t need to pretend they are being green…they are just finding another way to make more money…ridiculous!!!

I agree with Bert, it’s ridiculous to pay 3 bucks for glasses everytime you see a 3D movie when you can just reuse them. The theaters won’t let you pay for only the movie because they’re too greedy. I guess 2.5 Billion isn’t enough of a take for everyone involved. Why should I drop my 3D glasses in a box so they can be resold. With all the talk about our environment these days, they sure are adding to the heap. Why not sell good quality glasses for 20 or 30 dollars and you get to reuse them over and over. This way the environment is spared all the extra junk.

This isn’t even about being “green”. It’s about theaters/companies/whatever being cheap and using the “recycle” issue as a gimmick. I kept mine &I think they’re cool. I’ll find a use, or hell, I’ll let them gather dust. They’re mine. I paid for them. I’ll do what I want with them. 😀

unbelievable, this is using “recycle” at its worst and nobody realizes it. I accept the 1 time feee for the glasses but to keep paying over and over and then asking us to recycle so I can pay for them again? To ask us to recycle is worse.

I dare someone to link this comment to being “cheap”.

I would pay $100 for the world to realize this robbery.

For the record, I loved Avatar but if they dont post something that says “Keep your glasses…so you dont want to repay”.

Don’t give me its included in the cost. Nothing is “included”. Everything costs.

Again, one time fee “OK”.

I will wait a little and then I will burn these glasses and watch the toxic fumes raise into the air as a symbol of how this company is taking advantage of the world.

If you really cared then you would post some sort of reason why we can not reuse them for this movie or future movies. Hiding behing the guise of something honorable is worse thenthe issue itself.

SCUMBAGS!!!!
