These recycling efforts are available to members of the toy library only. Bring these items in to any of the branch locations. Ask a volunteer for help with where the collection boxes are located.
Recycling efforts at Toy Library locations:
Crayons
The Crayon Initiative
Broken crayons, whole crayons, leaving wrappers on is ok
Squeeze pouches
Terracycle and Go Go Squeeze
Squeeze pouches must be empty, clean, and dry and have caps. Any brand accepted.
**The Minnesota Toy Library receives a kickback for pounds of squeeze pouches donated, so the more you collect, the more money the toy library receives!
