Please Donate Your Unwanted Crayons

Crayons are petroleum products that take many years to biodegrade.

MORE THAN 12 MILLION CRAYONS ARE MANUFACTURED EACH DAY!

Just think for a moment, “How many dumpsters does that fill?”

The National Crayon Recycle Program recycles unwanted, rejected, broken crayons into new crayons, keeping thousands of pounds out of landfills and back into the creative hands of children!
