Ooops! Just as I clicked my page jumped, I meant to select maybe.
It's kind of a difficult thing to set up, though. What with needing space to store them and then getting them recycled properly. I think there's a pretty good reason there are only one or two places that offer this kind of service.

We have looked into this extensively in the past and have been unable to to secure a real, legit recycling arrangement.

Then there are those of us who are international! Wouldn't we have to pay for shipping to ship it back...? Erm speaking of, how does one find out where to properly recycle unwanted toys?
03/09/2012
If it were possible, sure
03/09/2012
If I had any toys I would be totally sure about not wanting anymore and couldn't sell it or give it away (for example because of the unsafe material, or because it has totally died and I couldn't get a replacement or refund because it wasn't ordered from here) then sure - I just don't like the idea of throwing it into the trash, because toys are made of different materials, some are biodegradable, and some are not - the more separated the materials are the better I feel about it... ^^

Sex toy recycling...sorry, but it's simply not going to happen.
03/10/2012
Probably not.
03/10/2012
Only when im 1000% done with it.

Depends. Seems it'd be a lot of trouble.

I'm not sure....as long as they weren't being made into new toys...that just freaks me out a little even if recycling sites say their stuff is safe...

Ya...that does kind of sound weird to recycle sex toys
03/10/2012
its a big undrtaking
03/10/2012
SOunds pretty iffy. It's nice to see that the people at EF have already been looking into it, though.
03/10/2012
I live abroad, so I don't see how it can work out for me
03/10/2012
I had started research on this and will pick it back up in May when school is over. I'm trying to compile info from leading manufacturers about why their items don't have a recycling code on them and what could be done to have this happen - guidelines ect.
03/10/2012
I probably would
03/12/2012
I probably would. I'd lug a massive suitcase filled with toys that are broken or no longer used back to North America (can you imagine the looks at customs??? NEAT!!!) and ship them.
But for the time being? If one breaks, I take a knife to it, remove the motor/battery and take that to the electronic stores for recycling. That is the best I can do here in China. Although the shop keeps still wonder what a girl is doing with all these bummed out motors.
I jsut pretend I don't speak the language!

wouldn't be into it
03/13/2012
when a toy breaks I will usually try to salvage any parts that I can for other toys/ projects. the battery boxes that are controllers are kept if I liked the functions and a headphone jack is added to make it compatible with other toys. motors and wires are striped out and used for general electronics projects. any leftover material is broken up and sorted by type and then properly recycled .

depending on how it would all work out, sure, Id be up for it. Depends on how shipping the stuff in would work though.

Sure.
03/20/2012
i feel that this would not allow EF to make any profits of toy sells becuase all of the extra costs
03/20/2012
It depends what you mean by recycling but yeah there are some things I never use that could be sent along to add space to my storage.
03/20/2012
Yeah I would do that.
03/20/2012
I wouldn't do it because I live abroad.
03/21/2012
Yes, if it were possible (which is doesn't seem to be! )
03/21/2012
yes, in a heartbeat. I am big into recycling, especially with plastic, metal, glass, and electronics.

It would depend on how the program worked.
