How To: Recycle Your Sex Toys

We all know the importance of bundling old newspapers and putting plastic containers into the right bins, but what to do with all those unloved and unwanted (and possibly phthalate-filled) sex toys gathering dust under your bed? You can't just give them away—believe us, we've tried—and somehow it just doesn't seem right putting them into the same trash pile with your empty Diet Coke bottles and vegetable scraps. Enter Sex Toy Recycling, a new outfit which actively solicits your disused double dongs and abandoned dildos: after a neccessary sterilization process, they'll break them down to their constituent parts and use the materials to create new toys "made of at least 95% post-consumer materials" and send you a cash voucher towards their purchase. Since they just seem to be getting things off the ground there's not much by way of info regarding what you'll actually be able to buy with your new environmentally clear conscience, but it's a great idea that we'll be keeping an eye on as it develops. Now if only someone would come up with a way to make good porn out of all the crappy screener DVDs we have piling up around here, we'll really be able to start sleeping better at night.
