I've wondered this for many years, but how can collecting used stamps benefit a charity?

I mean, it's not as though you can reuse them and the paper on the envelope is probably more valuable for recycling - so how does it work?

A friend of mine collects used stamps (and the first time I heard of someone doing it was over 30 years ago on Blue Peter) but I've never understood it.
