Don't trip over unwanted toys - find a new home for them

No. Your local recycling centre won’t accept toys for recycling and they can’t be collected as part of your local authority’s kerbside schemes.

If your toys are beyond repair, it may be possible to recycle the plastic or metal parts.

Natural wooden toys, are back in fashion. Many parents believe they are safer than plastic toys.

If your toys are in good working order, take them to a charity shop, jumble sale or carboot sale
Contact your local Toy Library they may have a use for your old toys
Give toys to a local church, playgroup or hospital – check what is suitable for their needs first
Friends, family or neighbours with younger children may appreciate them too

You could also try selling your toys - advertise in local papers or on community noticeboards.

Soft toys can be kept for generations.
