What to Do with Old or Broken Crayons
Did you know that crayons are not biodegradable and should not be thrown in the trash? Here are some responsible ways to dispose of old or broken crayons:
- Reuse: Give your old or broken crayons a second life by reusing them. You can melt them down and create new multi-colored crayons or use them for arts and crafts projects.
- Donate: Many schools, daycares, or community centers accept donations of gently used crayons. Check with local organizations to see if they are in need of crayons.
- Recycle: Some recycling centers accept crayons for recycling. Check with your local recycling center to see if they have specific guidelines for crayon recycling.
Crayons are not considered hazardous waste or a safety risk, but it's important to dispose of them responsibly to minimize waste and environmental impact. By reusing, donating, or recycling your old crayons, you can contribute to a greener and cleaner planet!
