Toys do NOT belong in your recycling bin... but they can still find a second life! As a rule of thumb:
🤝Good condition = donate. There are lots of local charities and libraries that accept toys—just check for what they`re looking for before you take them.
🗑️ Broken or worn out = put in the trash.
Not sure where to donate? Search our Beyond the Bin tool to find donation and drop-off options near you: link in bio.
Bonus Tip: Consider giving it away through a local gifting group like Buy Nothing or Freecycle.
