Bevy of Brands Partnering With NGOs to Fund Conservation During Earth Month

Personal care brand Tom’s of Maine is working to raise environmental awareness in kids through two initiatives: The company has launched a #StartYoungLiveGreen campaign - designed to encourage parents to teach their children the importance of environmental responsibility – and is partnering with TerraCycle to promote waste reduction through the recycling of broken toys.

Tom’s of Maine and Terracycle team up to help you upcycle your old toys for FREE

According to a recent Tom’s of Maine study, in attempts to declutter and streamline their homes, 55% of parents frequently chuck out old toys, with that waste going directly to landfills. So we’re pretty thrilled that in honor of Earth Month, the company is teaming up with Terracycle to help you and families all over America recycle broken and unusable toys for free! That’s right, they’ll take even those nearly-impossible-to-recycle items like stuffed animals, random puzzle and game pieces, and remote control vehicles.
