Sort through your old toys and give them a second life
Do you have worn-out, incomplete, or damaged toys gathering dust in your closets? Don’t throw them away! Ecomaison offers solutions to extend their lifespan and save them from the trash. Two habits to adopt: repair them yourself using spare parts, or drop them off at Ecomaison collection points located in toy stores. They will be reused by a nonprofit organization or recycled if they are too damaged.
