Recycle Old Toys

September 9, 2008 · Filed Under benefits of recycling 

I try to clean out my boys’ toy box every year, right before Christmas. I’m thankful that the boys have a little cousin that’s 3 years younger so we can hand the outgrown toys down to him, even more thankful that his mom totally appreciates and uses their old toys (and clothes). Can you imagine how many old toys end up in the landfill? MILLIONS! I read some statistics that only a third of these old toys actually get recycled. Before you just dump out the old toys, really think about what you can do to recycle them. Here’s some ways that I can think of.
