Well over a year ago we brought news about Love Honey, a UK company that launched a sex toy recycling campaign to help keep e-waste from sex toys out of landfills. Their campaign collected over 1 ton of used toys.

Now a Florida-based business called Dreamscapes wants to do right by the earth and has launched one of the US’s first sex toy recycling programs. Read on for how you can get $10 for your old toys and keep the landfills cleared of these little-discussed sources of e-waste. Not all, but many toys vibrate, which means they have electronic parts and batteries. Keeping these - as well as plastics, rubber, and silicon - out of landfills is important, and Dreamscapes recognizes this. Their Recycle Your Sex Toy program (really original title, I know…) helps to properly recycle and reuse the materials from the toys.

All you have to do is send off your well-washed toy to Dreamscapes. They’ll promptly send you a $10 gift certificate to their online store as a thank you. They’ll then disassemble the toys and send the rubber, silicone, plastic and motorized parts off to specialty recyclers where the materials will be reused. Batteries are also properly recycled.

"I know our industry is taboo, but we want to save the environment too," says CEO David Kowalsky in Rolling Stone Magazine.
