Crayons through the National Crayon Recycling Program:

Collect any crayons as they are – wrapped, broken or barely used, they can all be recycled. 

 

Why recycle crayons? Crayons are a petroleum product that take many years to biodegrade.  MORE THAN 500,000 pounds of crayons are discarded every year in the U.S. alone! -- Crazy Crayons is partnered with the National Crayon Recycle Program to recycle old, unwanted crayons into new fun-shaped crayons, keeping thousands of pounds out of landfills and back into the creative hands of children! – We will be stocking these at the market.
