Recycling Those Other Household Appliances

Posted by Colleen Kane

 

Almost exactly a year ago today, I wrote a blog post for a green website about the UK's Rabbit Amnesty program for recycling sex toys (and shortly thereafter was asked by the editor if I wouldn't mind taking that post down because the subject matter was a little too racy and they had investors to please). That post ended asking when the U.S. would step it up with a recycling program of our own.

They have, and as with the Rabbit Amnesty program, incentives are offered to recyclers. 

The Sex Toy Recycling Program does it all for you after you pop your used goodies in the mail:

Simply drop your clean used toy(s) in the mail, when we receive it in our warehouse we will have it cleaned and disassembled. The rubber, silicone, hard plastics, metal, e-waste and motors will be sent to recycling facilities that process the materials for reuse. Did you leave the batteries in? Don’t worry, we dispose of them responsibly.

For every package mailed in, you get a $10 gift certificate for use with participating affiliates. The program was set up by Dreamscapes, LLC to reduce the carbon footprint of the adult novelties industry.
