The arrival of summer is a good time to clean toys at home, an ideal occasion to separate those that are broken or that the children have left behind in the bottom of a trunk. But, What to do with the toys that my son no longer uses? Easy, share and recycle.
The Crecer Jugando Foundation, RNE and Toys'R'Us, together with other entities, have launched a solidarity initiative that seeks to give toys a second life by donating those who are in good condition and recycling those who no.
For ten days, of June 20-29 toy collection points will be enabled in the 50 Toys'R'Us stores located throughout the national territory.
Where will these toys go? They will be sent to a processing center where they will be classified among those that can be donated directly and those that, due to their poor condition, will be sent to reprocessing centers for recycling.
Thus, toys that are in good condition will be sent to the Red Cross that will distribute them among their childhood and youth projects in social difficulties such as toy libraries, children's centers, shelters, social mediation centers, hospitalized childhood care or in domicile with long-term illnesses.
I think it's a very interesting campaign, both for its solidarity purpose and for the value it fosters in children. To raise awareness about the importance of sharing toys that they no longer use, not as a way to get rid of junk, but to give to others.
You can make the selection of toys together and take the child to deliver them to the collection points. At home we are already at it.
