Recycling Sex Toys
Paper, Plastic, Rabbit Vibrators?!
Sure, everyone knows to recycle bottles and cans, newspapers, and even electronics – but I was pleasantly surprised to learn that facilities in both the US and the UK offer mail-in recycling for (over)used adult toys as well.
SexToyRecycling.com provides details on how to clean and package your toys for recycling, and even offers a $5 voucher for select recycled products at your local sex toy retailer.
In the UK, LoveHoney offers a bloody brilliant deal for Rabbit vibrator users. Send them your old Rabbit vibe and receive a brand-spanking-new Rabbit for half price! They go one step further and donate £1 to a green charity.
Both sites remind you to clean your toys with soap and water before packaging, just like you’d clean out that old peanut butter jar before laying it in the recycling bin.
Many sex toy users are becoming more environmentally responsible and ultimately buying up more “green toys”. Green sex toys include anything made of pyrex, blown glass, silicone, and even stone (!) and are not only earth-friendly but also naturally body-friendly. The peace of mind you’ll have recycling your old toys or buying green is enough to get anybody excited!

Hi Rick,
Many thanks for mentioning Rabbit Amnesty – we’ve had a lot of people recycle with it!
I’m not sure that the sextoyrecycling.com site you mention ever launched a real service – I think it’s a bit of a spoof. You can’t actually do anything on it and it’s been online for a long time.
And it’s connected to the homemade-sextoys site.
Not dissing them of course, just wondering if anyone knows if it’s real or just fun?
Thanks again!
Richard
