JDog Junk Removal and Hauling does not want to put your old toys in a landfill. Their article proposes several positive ways to give a used toy a second life. To summarize: Donate old toys! Ordinarily, estates have some toys tucked away in the attic. Executorium’s second mission is to “Keep Stuff out of Landfills,” so naturally we support passing along items like Hot Wheels (check values!), board games (with all the pieces), and other usable children’s toys so they can find new homes and continue to bring joy.
What is more, there is something truly positive about giving a second life to items that have served you well. It’s good karma to let toys have a second chance with new children. Not to mention, keeping items out of landfills is environmentally responsible and ethically rewarding. JDog reports that 60-80% of their hauls are recycled—a strong commitment to sustainability. Certainly, that’s good karma, and it’s a brand culture we can get behind. Thanks for the helpful info and inspiration, JDog!
Undoubtedly, toys of potential monetary or sentimental value should be treated as estate assets—for example, vintage metal soldiers or Tootsie Cars from the 1930s.
So be sure to check out JDog’s ideas on ways to donate old toys via the link above. One option they may have missed is Freecycle, a community-based site similar to Craigslist for free items, where you can list toys locally for anyone to claim.
To be clear, only donate toys that are in good condition—not overly worn, damaged, or missing essential pieces. Happy donating, and good luck finding new homes for these treasures!
