Recycling OLD TOYS

Toys are absolutely NOT compostable, permanently plastic, and grown out of rapidly.

WE HAVE A LOT OF THEM!!! We were cleaning out my old, gas guzzling van and found 7 bags full of them. What to do? I called a couple of local consignment shops, found one that accepts pretty much anything for store credit and donates the rest. Having those once loved toys refurbished and reused felt good. It felt so much more responsible than just taking the convenient way out and tossing them in the trash. Think about how many millions and millions of toys are produced, packaged, bought, used and discarded every year! There's got to be another way!!!!
