I'm re-posting this Earth Day post from 2009 that I wrote on this blog because it is still relevant and the links still work!
Today is Earth Day. It’s raining in NYC, which seems fitting. I’ve read lots, and lots and lots of posts about green sex toys that are currently available. Many of these toys are created by recycled material, have vegan ingredients, or are made of soy products. But, what about if your toy breaks, if you get a new one after ending a relationship, or if you just want to replace one that you are kind of tired of, what do you do with them? There are now options available for sex toy recycling! Below are some options:
1. Sex Toy Recycling.com provides this service. Not only do they recycle the toy for free, you also get a $5 voucher towards another sex toy at a store or at their upcoming online store for each toy you mail. I sent an email to see if they accept toys from outside the continental US, including US territories, as well as if the vouchers or upcoming online store will services those outside the US and haven’t gotten a response yet. I’m sure they will let me know when they can and I’ll update their response here. Read carefully their “How It Works” page, they ask you to wash your toy and mail it in a specific type of mailer. This means you will have to pay for shipping.
2. Recycle Your Sex Toy.com is a program by sex toy seller Dreamscapes. They offer a $10 gift card to their store and those of their affiliates (Vibrator Shopping.com) for every package you mail them. They will not think you are slick if you send 5 packages with 5 different toys to recycle. It kind of defeats the purpose, so instead, make sure you pay one amount and ship as many toys as you can at one time.
3. LoveHoney’s Rabbit Amnesty program is in the UK, where the law is to recycle all electronics, and vibrators fall under that law. To make this service more discrete, Love Honey launched their Rabbit Amnesty program in 2007. They want folks to bring their sex toy to the store for recycling, in exchange they will donate £1 to the World Land Trust, and they also offer 50% off a new rabbit vibrator. They have made an ad which is below and read more about what is actually done when they recycle your toy.

Latino Sexuality Links
This is my last day of teaching, so I will have more time to spend finishing up those posts that I have waiting to be published!
In the meantime, here are some links that I'm loving:
Please go watch this video: trans 101: questions NOT to ask a trans person.
Brazil is sending back hazardous waste sent from the UK that was labeled as "recycled." Included in this bin of what should have been recyclable plastics: used syringes (needles) and condoms! For those of you who don't know, this breaks international law!
Check out my review of the book Fist of the Spider Woman. The editor, Amber Dawn, was featured as Sunday Night Common Sense on this blog not too long ago!
I have two new toy reviews up and you can read the first one here and the second one here.
Finally, here's the book trailer for the final text my students and I read this semester. It's Picture Me Rollin' by Black Artemis. It's now available as an e-book and was perfect for wrapping up our class as it speaks about love, feminisms, violence, sexuality, incarceration, women's work, sisterhood, mentorship, education, and self-awareness.

Recycle Your Sex Toys on Earth Day & Everyday
Today is Earth Day. It’s raining in NYC, which seems fitting. I’ve read lots, and lots and lots of posts about green sex toys that are currently available. Many of these toys are created by recycled material, have vegan ingredients, or are made of soy products. But, what about if your toy breaks, if you get a new one after ending a relationship, or if you just want to replace one that you are kind of tired of, what do you do with them? There are now options available for sex toy recycling! Below are some options:
1. Sex Toy Recycling.com provides this service.

I sent an email to see if they accept toys from outside the continental US, including US territories, as well as if the vouchers or upcoming online store will services those outside the US and haven’t gotten a response yet. I’m sure they will let me know when they can and I’ll update their response here. Read carefully their “How It Works” page, they ask you to wash your toy and mail it in a specific type of mailer. This means you will have to pay for shipping.
2. Recycle Your Sex Toy.com is a program by sex toy seller Dreamscapes. They offer a $10 gift card to their store and those of their affiliates (Vibrator Shopping.com) for every package you mail them. They will not think you are slick if you send 5 packages with 5 different toys to recycle. It kind of defeats the purpose, so instead, make sure you pay one amount and ship as many toys as you can at one time.

To make this service more discrete, Love Honey launched their Rabbit Amnesty program in 2007.
