Kinkiest Recycling Program Ever Makes Sex-Happy Eco-Conscious Adults Happier



via Dreamscapesvia Dreamscapes

Dreamscapes has made recycling a little sexier, in a way that was long overdue. How? Dreamscapes is greening up the sex toy industry one toy at a time, not in a moldy or gangrene kind of way. Dreamscapes created a sex toy-recycling program.

This kinky recycling sex toy program, a non-profit program, established by David Kowalsky and Jean Kozlowski, of Dreamscapes, LLC, "in order to reduce the carbon footprint of the adult novelty industry" launched in December 2008. It was then certified by the Institute For Green Business in January of 2009. They really mean business. They even take it a step further and donate any money they receive "from the purchased recycled materials to local and national environmental causes".

To recycle your sex toys drop them in the mail and ship them to Dreamscapes. Please clean them first. Yes, they can be used sex toys. They can also be unused. They can even be broken sex toys. When the toys arrive at the Dreamscapes Recycling location the toys are cleaned and disassemble into parts. The parts are then sent to select recycling facilities. Every part of each sex toy is recycled and/or disposed of responsibly: the batteries, the hard (no pun intended) plastics, the rubber, the silicone, the metal, the motor and any the e-waste.

Dreamscapes rewards everyone for recycling their sex toys too. "For every package of toys* you send in to be recycled, you will receive a $10 gift card (please allow 7 to 10 business days to receive) to use at one of our affiliate partners as well as some other goodies (when applicable) on your next order." Please note that each package must be filled to capacity to receive your gift card.

So...if you are interested, whatever sex toys you may have (vibrators, dildos, plugs, etc), lying around in a drawer somewhere, that no longer excite you or excited you so much they broke, gather them all up and mail them off to be recycled. The Dreamscapes recycling program address and recycling information can me found here. Don't forget to tell your friends and their friends to do the same.

WTF?

Sounds like a PR ploy for

Sounds like a PR ploy for shock value. We have now all heard of Dreamscapes. Definitely interesting though! 


Good idea

I think this is actually a really good idea, I don't know why people seemed to be so shocked by it...

I mean really, its not like you use them forever, and you can't really stick them in a regular recycling bin. How is a landfill better than recycling perfectly good plastic and mechanical parts?

I wish this was around when I upgraded my vibrator, didn't know what to do with the cheap old one. It still worked fine, seemed a waste to just chuck it. Ended up packing it up with a box of stuff going to Goodwill as a joke. (Yes, I cleaned it well first!)

But I do wonder how big this package is you have to fill to the brim to get the gift card. I'm sure there are people out there with boxes and boxes of toys, but I'd think the average person is probably only looking to dispose of one or two at a time.


Been done before!

LoveHoney.co.uk has been recycling sex toys in the UK since 2007!!
