Tackle Toy Tyranny with TOY-CYCLE.ORG
Do your kids seem to have an insatiable appetite for new toys? And what about all the old ones they’ve outgrown that are stuffed here and there, in trunks and under beds? Now there’s an easy new way to solve your toy troubles: an online network dedicated to the free exchange of used toys and games.
How does it work? Imagine a sunny Saturday afternoon. You are diligently trying to clear the clutter of toys from your kids’ bedrooms, your living room, and the hall closet. In a moment of near despair, you locate toys your youngest hasn’t played with since kindergarten. Never mind she’s in 3rd grade now. What can you do? Get online and offer those toys up to your local TOY-CYCLE.ORG group. Another family wants them. You make arrangements for that family to pick the toys up from you. Done.
The following Saturday you see a post for a game your oldest would love. Woohoo! It turns out the people giving it away live just eight blocks from you! You go pick it up, bring it home, thrill your kid. No shipping, no packaging, no money changing hands.
Notify me when a local group launches in my location.
(U.S. and Canada only)
Toy packaging uses precious resources. And much of it ends up in landfills because the types of plastic used are not recycled by many municipal recycling programs. Reduce your toy consumption with TOY-CYCLE.ORG.
Save money. Reduce clutter. Spare the earth.
