Recycled sex toys create a buzz
By Greenbang on Wednesday, 10th December 2008Is this the ultimate in recycling? Even the adult industry is jumping on the green bandwagon with the environmentally friendly disposal of sex toys.
The project is being led by sex toy manaufacturer Dreamscapes, which has started a way for people to pop their used or broken (there’s an image Greenbang is trying to get out of its head right now) vibrators, dildos, plugs and other sex toys into the post.
At the other end, so to speak, the toys are cleaned (thank goodness) and disassembled. The rubber, silicone, plastic, motorised parts and batteries will be sent to recycling facilities that will process the materials for reuse.
Anyway, if you’re in need of recycling broken sex aids then the website is here.

What a great concept! Considering how much rubber, plastic, and silicone is used to produce sex toys, recycling seems like the best way to go when you get tired of an old toy or (yikes!) break one!
Good to see someone else joining in on sex toy recycling. At LoveHoney we’ve been running our Rabbit Amnesty recycling program for more than a year and have recycled tons of vibrators. You can find out more information and even see a video of the vibes being recycled on our site here:
