Other disposal options

Put in garbage

Toys that are not in good condition may be put in the garbage. Toys are not recyclable.

Remove and recycle any batteries before putting the toy in the garbage. If you cannot remove the battery, do not place the toy in the trash—you should then bring the entire toy with battery to a drop-off facility. 

Recycle boxes from board games and puzzles, and put the remainder in the garbage.
